| [Nigerian Tribune] Terrorists, suspected to be members of the dreaded 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... sect, were said to have launched attacks on farmers, killing nine people and setting ablaze over 20 farms about to be harvested in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State. Konduga is about 40 kilometres away from Maiduguri, the state capital. It had witnessed series of attacks and bombings by the myrmidons. The most deadly of the attacks in the last three months was when about 50 worshippers were killed in a mosque during morning prayers. Speaking with the Nigerian Tribune at the Government House in Maiduguri, Alhaji Umar Baganin Laifinka, who accompanied the Caretaker Chairman of Konduga, Alhaji Ali Abbari, to see the deputy governor on the matter lamented the rate at which Boko Haram bully boyz are wrecking havoc in communities in Konduga, saying it calls for urgent government intervention. Laifinka stated that: "In the last seven days, Boko Haram bully boyz have killed over nine people and set ablaze over 20 farmlands about to be harvested. As I am talking to you now, our people living in Balge and Umba villages behind Kwatan Yobe, have been displaced as gunnies have not only set their farmlands ablaze, but their residential houses." |
