Off-Campus Students, Others Slaughtered Over Mini-skirt And Trousers In Maiduguri; JTF Place Bounty On Boko Haram Leaders




Twenty ladies in mini skirts and trousers were on friday slaughtered in their separate homes in Maiduguri by yet-to-be-identified terrorists. This came barely 24 hours after over ten people were slaughtered in the the metropolis.
The massacre took place in the early hours of Friday precisely at about 1 to 2am when most residents were still asleep in their houses due to the curfew imposed by state government.
It was gathered that the most hit areas were Mary wards, few meters away from the University of Maiduguri, one of the places accommodating students of the institution living off-Campus due to accommodation shortage.
Also affected were ladies living close to the black spots areas of Gwange, London Chiki, Abbagaram, Kaleri areas where series of killings and bomb blasts had occurred in the past, killing JTF officers.
When contacted on phone, both the JTF spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa and the Police Commissioner, Mr. Yuguda Abdullahi said that they are not in Maiduguri, the state capital to confirm the incident.
But a top JTF Commander said, he had directed his men to the affected areas yesterday morning to evacuate the remains of over twenty girls slaughtered within the Maiduguri metropolis.
Meanwhile, the Joint Task Force has declared 19 senior members of the terrorist Boko Haram group blamed for thousands of deaths in northern Nigeria wanted.
The army also placed a N50 million bounty on the suspected leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau and N10 million for various commanders of the sect.
A statement by the spokesman of the Joint Task Force, JTF, listed 19 alleged commanders of the sect.
“They are wanted in connection with terrorist activities particularly in the northeast zone of Nigeria that led to the killings, bombings and assassination of some civilians, religious leaders, traditional rulers, businessmen, politicians, civil servants and security personnel amongst others,” the statement said.
“They are also wanted for arson and destruction of properties worth millions of naira.”
Violence linked to Boko Haram’s insurgency is believed to have left over 3,000 people dead since 2009, including killings of security forces.
