Barely 24 hours after over ten people were slaughtered in Maiduguri,
twenty ladies who were prone of wearing mini skirts and trousers were
Friday slaughtered in their separate homes in Maiduguri Metropolis by
yet to be identified gunmen.
This ugly development is one of its
kind, as many believed that most of the daily killing in Borno are only
targeted at men and security agencies.
The slaughtering of about
twenty different ladies our Correspondent gathered took place in the
early hours of Friday precisely at about 1 to 2am when most of residents
were still asleep in their houses due to 6am to 9pm Curfew imposed on
the state in the past five months.
More details soon

The
slaughtering of about twenty different ladies, our correspondent
gathered, took place in the early hours of yesterday precisely at about 1
to 2am when most of residents were still asleep in their houses due to
the curfew imposed by state government.
A source told our
correspondent that the most hit areas were Mary wards, few meters away
from the University of Maiduguri, one of the places accommodating
students of the institution living off-Campus due to accommodation
shortage.
Also affected according to investigation, were ladies
living close to the black spots areas of Gwange, London Chiki,
Abbagaram, Kaleri areas where series of killings and bomb blasts had
occurred in the past, killing JTF officers.
When contacted on
phone, both the JTF spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa and the
Police Commissioner, Mr. Yuguda Abdullahi said that they are not in
Maiduguri, the state capital to confirm the incident.
But a top
JTF Commander said, he had directed his men to the affected areas
yesterday morning to evacuate the remains of over twenty girls
slaughtered within the Maiduguri metropolis.
N50m bounty placed on Boko Haram leaders
Meanwhile,
the Joint Task Force, Operation ‘Restore Order’, Maiduguri, have
declared the suspected terrorists wanted and placed a reward on each of
them. They are wanted in connection with terrorist activities
particularly in the region that led to the killings, bombings and
assassinations of some civilians, religious leaders, traditional rulers,
businessmen, politicians, civil servants and security personnel amongst
others. They are also wanted for arson and destruction of properties
worth several millions of Naira.
A statement listed 19 alleged
senior members of the extremist group blamed for hundreds of deaths in
connection with its insurgency in northern and central Nigeria as
suspects.
The rewards ranged from N50million for the suspected
leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau, to N10 million for various Boko
Haram “commanders”.
Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa, who issued the
statement on behalf of the Military Task Force operating in the region
did not respond to phone calls. Violence linked to Boko Haram’s
insurgency is believed to have left over 3,000 people dead since 2009,
including killings of security forces.
