| 2014-05-04 |
| [THESTREETJOURNAL.ORG] Heavy gunfire and loud kabooms jolted residents of Maiduguri from their sleep in the early hours of Saturday as members of the Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... terrorist group launched yet another attack. Residents around the University of Maiduguri revealed that the shooting started around 2 am and there was exchange of fire for more than one hour. Though the University was not hit, it is believed that the military formation which was attacked earlier in the year was the target of the terrorists. Back then, the attempt of the snuffies to flee their detained members was believed to have resulted in heavy casualties as the military deployed fighter jets as they fled. The Director of Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade confirmed that the Saturday incident but said he was yet to have full details. |
