Boko Haram assassins wipe out family in Kano  

Published on September 16, 2012 by pmnews   ·   9 Comments

Four men suspected to be agents of the Boko Haram sect have shot dead a member of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps and three members of his family in Kano.

They killed the officer, his wife, his three year old daughter and his crippled brother staying with him, police sources told a news agency today.

The victims were all locked up in a room and shot dead in the home of the yet to be identified NSCDC officer in Hotoron Gabas district.

Neighbours said they saw the four men arriving on two motor cycles and entering the house.

After the killing, they jumped back on their bikes and sped off.

Kano, since the 20 January multiple attacks by the Boko Haram sect, has been experiencing isolated attacks by militants of the sect, such as throwing bombs at police patrol vehicles or check points or killing people at their homes or on the street. In June, an SSS officer was shot dead by the sect in his house.

   One of the characteristics of dead gods is that their adherents fight for them. Example, Ahab and his wife Jezebel fought with Elija on behalf of baal god. Nebuchadnezer fought for his idol by casting shedrach, meshac and abednego into fire

   They will say Islam is a religion of peace and this people are proclaiming islam so if it is a religion of peace so why they do kill people. The northern governors knows boko haram, their enirs knows them and they did not do anything about it. God shall ask for the blood of innocent from them. 75% of northerners behave like cow. they are beating the drum of war now and i am afraid if this dstard action wont lead to war
