Boko Haram: 12 killed as gunmen attack Tashan Alede, Kwajjafa villages in Borno
2013-12-30
[DAILYPOST.NG] Suspected Islamic bad boys, 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...
, have attacked Tashan Alede and Kwajjafa villages of Hawul Local Government Area of Borno State, DailyPost has learnt.

According to the reports, the attack in Tashan Alede on Saturday at about 11:00 pm, led to the killing of 8 persons at a wedding reception, while the attack in Kwajjafa today, Sunday, claimed 4 persons.

DailyPost gathered that there were earlier reports that the Islamic snuffies were planning to attack Marama, Garkida, Shaffa, and Kwajjafa, which are all Christian dominated areas.

A resident of Kwajjafa, who spoke with our correspondent on the attack, said they were not surprised that the sect attacked Christian villages following a video massage released on Friday, by the purported sect leader, Abubakar Shekau, where he attacks on Maiduguri NAF Base, Kur Mohammed Barracks in Bama.

It will be recalled that in that video, the sect leader said they were the warriors of Islam and were waging a religious war on Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan
... 14th President of Nigeria. He was Governor of Bayelsa State from 9 December 2005 to 28 May 2007, and was sworn in as Vice President on 29 May 2007. Jonathan is a member of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). He is a lover of nifty hats, which makes him easily recognizable unless someone else in the room is wearing a neat chapeau...
and on Christians.

For now, there is no official reports from the 7 Division Nigerian Army or the Police on the attack, but indigenes of Kwajjafa and Tashan Alede villages, who lost one relation or other were being prayed for in churches in Maiduguri as they traveled back home to the village to bury the victims.
