[CHANNELSTV] Unknown gunnies have attacked the father of the Kano state governor, Alh. Rabi'u Kwankwaso leaving at least three dead and few others injured.Although the attack has not been confirmed by the police, sources close to government house told our correspondent in Kano that the governors father was attacked at about 8 pm yesterday while leaving a mosque in Kwankwaso village, Madubi local government area of Kano state. Alh. Kwankwaso is a member of Kano emirate with the title of District Head of Madubi. Kano is one of the northern states infiltrated by Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... , a violent Islamist group seen as the main security threat in Nigeria. The group is calling for the Islamisation of northern Nigeria. It is also believed to be the headquarters of Ansaru, a smaller jihadist outfit that specialises in kidnapping and often killing of foreigners. The last attack by members of sect occurred in December when gunnies kidnapped a Lebanese national. Posted by: Fred 2014-01-09 |
