5 killed for failing to recite Quaran

The five people believed to be Igbo traders
were said to have been shot dead at Madala
Market on Thursday Night between 7 –
8pm.

Our correspondent reliably gathered that
the yet to be identified gunmen were said
to have stormed the Madala market and
made straight to a shop believed to be that
of some Igbo traders and ordered them to
recite the Holy Quran of which they could
not.
The gunmen who were not satisfied with
the development opened fire on the five
people at close range leaving them dead
immediately.
An alarm which was raised by other
traders close to the shop where the five
people were killed attracted passers by who
sent a distress call to the Divisional Police
Officer Suleja where a detachment of
armed police were drafted to the scene.
However, before the police men could
arrive the spot, the gunmen had already
fled, leaving their casualties in their own
blood.
The five casualties were later identified as
John Kalu, Oliver Ezemah, Uche Nguweze,
Sunday Emmanuel while fifth casualty was
yet to be identified as at the time of going to
press.
The identity of the gunmen are yet to be
ascertained by people of the town and even
the police who have swung into
investigation.
An eye witness account told our
correspondent no valuables were removed
from the shop of the victims after they
might have been gun down which
invariably confirms that the gunmen were
not armed robbers but suspected to be
Boko Haram sect members.
Niger State police Command spokesman
ASP Richard Adamu Oguche confirmed the
story but could not also ascertain the
originality of the gunmen.
He assured that police in the state are on
top of the issue

Our Moslem brothers should quickly investigate & respond to prevent repraisal. It will be regretable to allow this matter to take an inter-religious dimention.

Nigeria is a failed state! where injustice and corruption reign supreme, Nigeria is nothing but a theater of the absurd, where monkey works and the baboon does all the eating, where the hardworking igbos are cast as villains, and subjected to  killings and harasment, our men are murdered in cold blood,without a chance to defend themselves, our women and children are not spared,our churches are burnt down, but the real villains ( hausa/fulani) are in the leading role.
