PHOTO: Gunmen kill banker in Maiduguri
Friday in Maiduguri, Borno state, north-
east Nigeria.
The late banker identified as Yakubu Abdullahi
was reported to have been gunned down while
he was breaking his fast on Friday evening in
the company of two of his friends.
One of them escaped unhurt while the other
sustained injuries.
Eyewitness reports say two teenagers walked
into the banker’s house with AK-47 rifles and
opened fire on the banker.
The spokesman for the Borno state police
command, Gideon Jibrin, confirmed the incident,
saying investigations into the killing had begun.
Meanwhile the joint task force (JTF) in Maiduguri
recovered a cache of arms and ammunition in
an undisclosed location in the metropolis,
following intelligence reports.
The recovered items include four Kalashnikov
rifles, a general purpose machine gun, nine
rapid propelled guns, 11 chargers, three AK 47
rifles, three wooden butts, and 1, 032 rounds of
ammunition.
Displaying the arms and ammunitions at the JTF
headquarters in Maiduguri, the field operation
officer col. Victor Ebhaleme appealed to the
people to continue to accord security forces the
needed cooperation, and report suspected
hideouts of terrorists to the JTF.
