| 2012-01-18 |
| [An Nahar] An unidentified gunman has rubbed out three Chadian nationals in the northeastern Nigerian city of Damaturu, hard hit by violence blamed on Islamist group Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. Currently wearing a false nose and moustache and answering to Jama'atu Ahlus-Sunnah Lidda'Awati Wal Jihad, or Big Louie... , police said Tuesday. The gunman armed with a rifle stole mobile phones from the Chadian masons and shot them dead on Monday in the Pompomari area of the city, a neighborhood torn in recent weeks by Islamist attacks and a military crackdown. "A gunman walked up to three Chadian builders sitting outside a house and dispossessed them of their mobile phones and opened fire on them, killing all three on the spot in an unprovoked attack," Yobe state police commissioner Lawan Tanko said. Damaturu, located in Yobe state, is near the Chadian border. |
