Borno State: Boko Haram kills JAMB candidates + Others in multiple attacks

Sad news reaching our news desk today, is that no fewer than 210 persons, including the 2014 JAMB UTME candidates were killed in multiple attacks which was planned by members of the Insurgency, “Boko Haram sect” in the volatile Borno State between Thursday and Friday this week.

According to our informant, the JAMB candidates who lost their lives in the attacks were said to be on their way to various examination centres at several locations like:
Dikwa,
Kala Balge,
Gambulga,
Gwoza.

The Senator who is currently representing Borno Central Senatorial District, Ahmed Zannah who confirmed the attack to newsmen accused the military of Collaboration with the Sect, which is still yet to be confirmed.

Here’s Senator Ahmed Zannah words and we would love to quote him directly.

“There was a siege on one of the schools in Dikwa town just after midnight on Thursday. I got to know from my people in the area that the hoodlums attacked a school, killed three teachers and two security men on duty; they also razed the school library and escaped into the night through the bushes,”.

In a similar attack on Thursday, gunmen believed to be Boko Haram members also attacked Kala Balge town about 100km away from Dikwa and killed three persons whom are believed to be among the villagers.

Senator Ahmed Zannah ALSO WENT FROWARD, to claimed that the attackers were all clad in military attires and spoke English language fluently like normal military men.

Ahmed Zannah continued and said: “It is a must for me to speak since the people lives are involved and they are my people. All these are happening in my constituency and it will be wrong to keep quiet. I feel so much pained and would not have spoken but definitely my conscience will not let me do that.”

The embittered Senator claimed that 210 people were massacred by the gunmen, who invaded the towns in two armored personnel cars and seven double cabin pickups.

According to him, they attacked a Teachers College in Dikwa and killed seven people, burnt down the school library and administrative block.

Speaking further, Ahmed said Kala Balge was the most affected community as 60 were left dead after the attack, adding that after they had left there, they attacked three other towns in the area where a total of 150 persons were killed.

May the soul of these people rest in Peace and may their Blood cry out to God. RIP to all the Jambites involved in this massacre, may God grant their family, the grace and power to bear the loss.
