Kurmiri
village of Titiwa Ward, is about 15 kilometres away from Magumeri Local
Government headquarters of Borno state.
Chief Imam
of Kurmiri Village in Titiwa ward of Magumeri local government (Borno State)
was on Sunday night killed flanking four others, when suspected members of
dreaded Boko Haram sect, attacked the village.
Magumeri had
witnessed series of deadly attacks in recent past including the ambush, killing
and abduction of NNPC oil exploration workers, contracted staff of University
of Maiduguri and members of Civilian JTF in Bornoyesu village in July this
year.
Confirming
the attack, the Caretaker Chairman of Magumeri Local Government Area, Alhaji
Abubakar Abdulkadir in an interview with our Correspondent said, “Chief Imam of
Kurmiri village and four other persons were slaughtered by suspected members of
Boko Haram sect last night.”
Eyewitnesses said the attackers came into the
village armed with Ak47 rifles, knives and machetes, but decided to execute
their mission on their victims using machetes, because using guns will alert
many residents to repel the attacks, even though, sources said, one of the
attackers was arrested.
