Borno Lassa in Askira/Uba under attack, casualty uncertain
[Nigerian Tribune] Reports reaching the Nigerian Tribune in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, revealed that there was ongoing battle between the Nigerian forces and the 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... forces of Evil who had vowed to overrun Borno State, in a recent report. Adamu Chiwar, a resident of Maiduguri, from Lassa in Askira/Uba Local Government Area of Borno state, told the Nigerian Tribune that he received a massage from his relations at home that they should pray for their safety as the Islamic bad boys, Boko Haram had launched an attack on the people of Lassa, while security forces were fighting hard to repel them. It will be recalled that the sect members in a recent report, had vowed to kidnap the Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima for shuning them and therefore resolved to overrun Maiduguri, the Borno State capital. Nigerian Tribune also learnt that security forces in Maiduguri had remained on the alert today, Wednesday, as they had fortified their positions within the city centre and its environs, over rumour of possible attacks by the krazed killers. The sect members, it will be recalled, were tossed in the slammer Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! in Maiduguri last week for sneaking into the city to launch fresh on the residents. As of the time of going to press, there was no update on the ongoing battle in Lassa as attempts made by the Nigerian Tribune to contact the military as well as the police yielded no positive result.
