The notorious Boko Haram members have
again attacked some communities under
Birnin Magaji and Zurmi local government areas of
Zamfara state, allegedly killing over one hundred
members of the vigilante group in forest ambush.
The incidence reportedly occurred last Tuesday night
when the vigilante members from two affected local
governments mobilised a joint meeting aimed at
curbing the threatening rate of insurgency across the
border towns with Katsina state.
A source narrated that, the vigilante groups have traced
the main hideout of the terrorists deep down the
jungle, believing that the situation can be a further
threat to the oncoming general elections. This followed
an earlier decision taken to find a lasting solution in
order to ensure peaceful conduct of the elections.
According to the source, “When the meeting was going
on, an informant within the meeting alerted the
insurgents who immediately surrounded the victims
and opened fire on them, killing over a hundred and
escaped into the forest”.
The most affected communities include Zurmi, Birnin
Magaji and Birnin Tsaba where insurgents’ have been
frequently attacking, killing and rustling cows as well
as other domestic animals.
Confirming the incidence, the emir of Birnin Magaji
emirate, Alhaji Ahmed Umar Usman said, his
community lost eight people, while Zurmi community
lost about seventy, and Birnin Tsaba thirty was
recorded.
Other sources separately revealed to our correspondent
that, the number of those killed were far more than the
record so far, as more corpses were still lying there in
the deep forest.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer
(PPRO) of the state Command, DSP Lawal Abdullahi,
only nineteen lives were lost and men have since been
deployed to condone the forest in effort to ensure the
return of law and order in the area.
Meanwhile, not less than seven people have been
suspected dead with more than 20 others injured when
a suicide bomber with a black Honda civic car blew up
an explosive in a petrol station in Potiskum town in
Yobe state,
An eye witness said the suicide bomber exploded his
device immediately on entering the station where
people were buying fuel, adding that the injured ones
were taken to the general hospital, while soldiers has
surrounded the filling station.
There is indication that lots of casualties were
sustained as they receive treatment at the Potiskum
general hospital. The real casualty rate is yet to be
ascertained as rescue team were still carrying out their
duty
Also on Sunday, three people were killed in an attack
by suspected members of the Boko Haram in Tourou, a
place in the north of Cameroon. Around 50 children
were abducted and 80 houses were burned in the
attack, an army source told Xinhua.

So Boko Haram are now in Zamfara?

I suspect d fulanis instead of boko haram

SeverusSnape:
So Boko Haram are now in Zamfara?

That's the price for indoctrinating people with ethno religious hate.

By the time BH matter settles, Northerners will cherish peace

and yet we have a C in C that collects billions every month as security vote .
Jonathan should just give it up ...he has failed

Now they are going north west, God have mercy on our country

.

Northerners killing northerners.
What's not to like?

If past Northern Heads of state like Buhari had taken out time to educate the abokiis by building schools for them just the way GEJ is doing now, we won't be experiencing these nonsense..

So they(Northern politician) can always control them(Abokiis), they decided to keep them perpetually uneducated..

Melu-Melu people!

Zamfara has been having problems with cattle rustlers for some time now, though under-reported! I doubt if they are Boko Haram elements! So let's avoid sensationalism! But on the other hand, the presence of several armed groups(especially fulani herdsmen)scattered around the hills of Northern Nigeria poses a perpetual threat to that region much more than BH!
BH only gets more attention because of their sensational attacks! These herdsmen however have killed more people than BH!

When you leave your youth to be killing innocent strangers and you keep quiet as if their blood doesn't matter. Then time shall come when they will turn against their own sponsors and their children.
