Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have killed 17 youths in Gurokayeya village, Geidam LGA of Yobe State, over failure to pay tax.

Daily Trust learnt that the insurgents stormed the village around 10pm on Monday, gathered the residents in one place and executed selective killings.

“They selected 21 youths who were between the ages of 20 to 30 and shot them at close range, while young children and the old were spared.

“Seventeen died instantly, while the remaining four were rushed to the hospital in critical conditions,” a security source told our correspondent.

He said the insurgent took the measure after several warnings to the villagers to pay their taxes but to no avail.

“After the heinous act, they handed another stern warning to the villagers on the consequences of tax evasion before they left,” he said.

While confirming the incident, Babagana Aisami Geidam a human rights activist told this paper that 16 corpses had been buried according to Islamic rites.

He said military personnel had been deployed to the affected village.

When contacted, the Assistant Director Public Relations Officer, Operation Lafiya Dole, Captain Muhammad Shehu, confirmed the incident.

He, however, added that the terrorists also alleged that the villagers were given information to the troops who were flushing them out from their hideout.

“They (terrorists) attacked the villagers as revenge for alleging that they are helping us with useful information to flush them out.

“I cannot give you the accurate number of casualties, but all I knew is that military personnel have been deployed and normalcy has been restored,” he said.

Residents in Geidam have complained bitterly over the unchecked activities of the insurgents in the outskirts of the town without taking proper measures.

Last week, the insurgents had attacked a custom house in the heart of Geidam town where they killed an officer attached to the command.

Terrible! Meanwhile their leaders are only obsessed with recycling their killers as repentant, rehabilitated & deradicalised bandits/BH terrorists. Abi no be their state recently graduated about 1200+ of BH terrorists?

This is why this Allah Akboom chanting terrorists need the Gaza treatment, it's only in Nigeria where head slamming terrorists are given such freedom to misbehave...in every sane clime Islam is treated as a cancer that needs to be exterminated.

Imagine and the state has a sitting governor?

it's a must to stop been gullible and stop patronizing mediocrity of fellow nigerians that identify as politicians because they are elected to duties/services and get salaries plus fat allocations for doing so.




Wittyness.

The youth enjoined being VOLUNTARY SLAVES.

Op this is not news. The only time its news is when it happens in the east. Don't expect much response from cows and cockroaches.

"Attack on Boko Haram is an Attack on the North" ~Buhari

Most Northerners are Boko Haram apologists. This is the reason BH can never be defeated.

But why do Yoruba Muslims don't care about the life of Northerners.





Tinubu don't even want to take action.

Nlfpmod, what can we say about this bad news now.

Life is precious in East that's why human is called Mmadu


Mma means Beauty
Ndu means life.


Mmandu/Mmadu means Beauty of life.



God bless and protect Umu Igbo Nile.

Emerging you been a landlord of your own territory and house then some random land grabbers will now impose Levy on you to paying taxes like say na abroad you're living.

How effective has this approach been? Innocent people massacred almost on a daily basis.

Deploy troops, troops leave, terrorists attack - Deploy troops, troops leave, terrorists attack - Deploy troops, troops leave, terrorists attack ...

the cycle continues indefinitely.

Nigerian military (and security as a whole) cannot boast of novel approach(es) in addressing these incessant terror in various parts of the country? If paucity of funds is an issue, the anti-terror campaign should begin with those who steal billions monthly.

IPOB and ESN are our problem, bokoharam should kill all our youth in the north we dont care, we only care about when FG will hang MNK.

Lolll shameless man with hairy balls claiming to be a woman, what are you talking about

Seefinish:
Muslims killing Muslims.

AKA religion of peace

They see Boko Haram as religious fighters
Just like Palestinians see Hamas Terrorists as freedom fingers

The north is burning but those irredeemable online miscreants will rather focus attention on South East while also shamelessly and f00lishly standing with Hamas Palestine terrorists.

Tax collectors on the prowl....Yarimo, what have you got to say?

Where is hisbah when you need them?
