WICKED BOKO HARAM ATTACKED SCHOOL KIDS

I guess their targets are now schools. A week after a suicide bomber killed about 49 students at Govt Science Secondary school in Yobe state, gunmen attacked Limawa primary and secondary schools, Minna, Niger state this morning at about 10.30am, injuring many students.
According to an eye witness, the attackers shot sporadically in the air before using their machetes to inflict injuries on some students. It is not yet clear if they killed anyone but several students have been rushed to the hospital.
The Niger state Police command spokesperson DSP Ibrahim Gambari, who confirmed the incident, said the police are there now and normalcy has since been returned to the area.

HUNTERS OR SOLDIERS..BOKO IS OUT OF MUBI

Latest reports informed that the Nigerian military has recaptured Mubi town in Adamawa State, northern Nigeria from the Boko Haram insurgents.

According to BBC report, the terrorists are currently fleeing from the Nigerian soldiers.
Also, a resident in Mubi confirmed the information to newsmen, saying that: “Earlier today, soldiers launched a fierce attack, which saw the Boko Haram militants retreating.
“They have chased them away, but I’m not sure how far they went‎. Right now, people are still afraid of returning to the town because of the shock of the capture.
“And some are afraid that Boko Haram may return, that’s why the news is not being celebrated‎.”
Though the official confirmation by the DHQ, in the person of Chris Olukolade, is still being expected as at the time of filing this report, a correspondent of the BBC in Nigeria, while commenting on the news, posted the tweets below on his account:


This is coming after it was reported some hours ago that hunters in Mubi were mobilising to retake the town after it was captured by Boko Haram.
According to reports, the courageous hunters killed about 80 Boko Haram members in Maiha Local Government Area of the state on November 13, 2014, Wednesday, in a bid to reclaim the local government headquarters from the insurgents.

Speaking with the newsmen, a resident of Maiha, who escaped to Yola, said that the local hunters, who mostly arm themselves with bows and arrows, decided to get mobilised and to fight the insurgents following the alleged killing of the soldiers on Monday.

It was gathered that thousands of local hunters across the state are also planning to join forces with the Nigerian troops to recapture some towns under terrorists’ control.
Mr. P. P. Elisha, a spokesperson of Adamawa State Governor Bala James Ngilari, said the state government is supporting the hunters by donating three Toyota Hilux trucks to the state hunters association to enable them join the fight against the terrorists.
“Some of them (Boko Haram) ran away through Askira Uba and others through Mubi South and the situation in Mubi now is quite different from what it used to be,” he told to the PremiumTimes reporter.
Residents report that the first success in the battle for Mubi came in the night hours. A vigilante group, known as Yan Tauri, conducted a raid on the captured town, killed many insurgents.
Governor Bala Ngilari’s statement praised the combined efforts of the Civilian JTF, the Sarkin Bakan Gombi and the military in liberation of Mubi.

“We have some issues coming up. We would not want to do anything that will embarrass anyone, ourselves or compromise ongoing investigation being carried out by others. This is why we are putting this off; please bear with us,” 
 

“We are all aware that the Federal Government has set up a committee, what we are saying is that in order for us not to pre-empt  that committee and hold anyone responsible the best thing is for us to put this conference on hold.(continue)...

Agencies of government are working together so that at the end of the day we will have a comprehensive report. Before that is out, it will not be right for us to tell you the situation.We know that time is of essence here and I believe the committee will work within the shortest time possible. For all your questions and concerns, I believe the comprehensive report will be exhaustive”.

Very Bad news: Generator fumes kill man, wife & 3 children in Ikorodu

Generator fumes has killed a man, his wife and all his 3 children in Ipoyewa community of Ikorodu, Lagos. The bodies of the family was discovered by neighbours last Friday September 12th in their home. All five suffocated to death after inhaling fumes from a generator which they'd kept in their room. According to neighbours, the man bought the generator just two days before the unfortunate incident and was afraid it will be stolen if left outside so he kept it inside his 2-room apartment.

When the family failed to come out late Friday morning, a neighbour peeped through their window, saw bodies, and alerted others. They broke down the door to discover the horror. And when I say horror, I mean horror. The photos are really graphic so please be warned.

Residents of the community are blaming the family's deaths on lack of power in the area. They claim the last time they had light was 3 years ago, that every house in the area uses a generator. They said they have called on the government many times to help them with light but their efforts have yielded no fruit. See the pics after the cut.. *warning - graphic content*

People need to be educated about the dangers of generator fumes...
