Six persons, including the ANPP Chairman  in Jere Local Government, Borno State, Fannami Ngarnam,  his son, and a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP( in Borno State have lost  their lives to  separate armed attacks in the state.

In one of the attacks  in Shani local government area of the state, it was learnt that some unknown gunmen started shooting at a village, Walama, an outskirt of  Shani local government Friday night.

Sources said they later attacked a police station at Shani,  a distance of 25 kilometres where a police officer was injured. The  gunmen were said  to have  killed four persons,  including  an unidentified  member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

During the attack, 10  persons were injured and rushed to the hospital. It was gathered that two people out of the 10  died early Saturday morning.

The Police Commissioner, Mr. Michael Zuokumor confirmed the attack in Shani but however said two persons were killed.

In the attack in Jere, the ANPP Chairman, Fannami Ngarnam in the local government was attacked and killed alongside his son.

The police commissioner confirmed the killing of the chairman to journalists.   
 
The turn-out was impressive in the state even with the ANPP alleging that a threat text message was sent to their members asking them not to come out to cast their votes. The governor in an announcement to the state urged them to come out to vote, assuring them that their lives are  secured.
There is heavy presence of security in the state and the roads were empty.

U know, what baffles me most is why politicians has stopped attacking and assassinating their rivals and instead choose to harm helpless and unarmed ordinary civilians.

that's where the military re better than these uninformed so-called politicians.  the military will go strai8 to take out any opposition where as these cowards that says they re politicians will leave their rivals and start to terrorize unarmed poor civilians on the street.
as if the poor masses re directly their rivals...

I hereby challenge all these northern politicians that re sending their thugs to go terrorize the poor man on the street (if they know they really have all that influence then let them use their thugs to assassinate their rivals. let them start killing each other and live poor Nigerians alone oooooo)  THEY RE ALL COWARDS.... LET THEM PROVE ME WRONG BY KILLING THEIR MAIN POLITICAL RIVALS AND NOT POOR AND UNARMED NIGERIANS!!!

SHAMELESS COWARDS.
