| [An Nahar] Suspected 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... gunnies stormed a Christian village in northeastern Nigeria, killing 20 residents, a government front man said Monday. The heavily armed gunnies stormed Waga village in Adamawa state on Sunday and opened fire, Ahmed Soji said. "The gunnies believed to be Boko Haram forces of Evil in trucks and on cycle of violences attacked the village where they killed 20 people and burnt several houses," Soji said. "The whereabouts of several other people are still unknown but it is assumed they fled into the bush to escape the attack and are yet to return," he said. A second attack by the marauding gunnies on nearby Gublak village was repelled by soldiers in the area, Soji said without saying if there were casualties in the shootout. Adamawa state, which is one of three states under emergency law along with Borno and Yobe, has seen a string of deadly Boko Haram attacks. |
