OMG : Gunmen kill five kids, seven others in Borno

VIOLENCE continued in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital Thursday as gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram sect members moved from Shokari ward to Sulemanti ward of the metropolis, killed five children in two houses and torched Joel Temai’s House.

And barely seven hours after the incident, the hoodlums attacked five residences during which they shot dead seven people in Lawan Bukar ward.

Three of the children killed, according to an eyewitness, Zamdai Dahiru, were of security personnel in the Department of State Security Service (SSS), Adiju Zubairu, but his wife survived the attacks. The throats of the kids were slit by the assailants.

The other two children, the source added, were of Zubairu’s neighbour, two blocks from the torched house in Sulemanti area, behind the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) quarters.

Another eyewitness told The Guardian that the gunmen came in two unmarked taxis with petrol-bombs and started firing at the house of the security personnel for about ten minutes, before proceeding to another house which they set it ablaze at 2.30am.

“We could not sleep yesterday night as the gunmen continued to fire several gunshots in the area to scare other residents from raising the alarm,” he said.

On the killing of the two other children, he said: “The mother of these kids was not in the house when the gunmen attacked and slit their throats, as the wife went to Ruwan Zafi ward that tragic night. After killing the kids, they set the house ablaze before men of the Joint Task Force (JTF) rushed to the scene five hours after the attacks and killings.”.
