Nigeria: Police arrests 4 alleged sect members
2010-12-10
[Washington Examiner] Police in northeastern Nigeria say they have jugged members of a radical Mohammedan sect who ambushed security officers at a checkpoint.
Ambushing the cops seems like a pretty logical way to get yourself incarcerated...
Borno state police chief Mohammed Abubakar said Thursday that police jugged four men while four others had decamped, after a 30-minute shootout on Wednesday night.
"Cheaply made sneakers don't fail me now!"
He said the gunnies ambushed coppers and soldiers at a checkpoint in Maiduguri. The only injury was a suspect who was shot in the leg.
That says little for the marksmanship skills of either side...
Police believe the suspects are members of Boko Haram.
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter...
The group is accused of killing more than 30 people in recent months including security officers, political and spiritual leaders.
... and possibly to be confused with the Purple Gang...
Boko Haram means "Western education is sacrilege" in the Hausa language.
