TWENTY people have been killed at the State Low Cost Housing Estate (SLHE) in Abaganaram ward, Maiduguri, Borno State.
Also, the Kaduna State police command has arrested two suspected members of Boko Haram.
Besides, a human rights activist Emmanuel Onwubiko has suggested that Nigerians of all classes should be allowed to bear arms as effective means of protecting themselves from all forms of violent attacks.
Onwubiko who is the national coordinator of the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) maintained that the measure was required to avert the want on killing of Nigerians through the activities of disgruntled elements in the society.
Onwubiko who marked the fifth year anniversary of the formation of HURIWA, spoke against the backdrop of the massacre of 48 students of the Adamawa State Polytechnic in Mubi by gunmen suspected to be members of the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents.
Onwubiko maintained that it would not be out of place if the United Nations and the African Union send peace enforcers and armed troops to Nigeria to save Nigerians from imminent extermination by what he termed illegal armed non-state actors.
Nine hours after the Abaganaram massacre, two gunmen suspected to be members of the same group, were also shot dead by men of the military Joint Task Force (JTF) at the Masidimami Bridge in the early hours of Tuesday.
The gunmen, according to JTF source, were said to have used the Ngadabul River to flee Maiduguri with their AK 47 rifles on their shoulders.
"We were on our routine patrol of the Biu Road, and Sulemanti areas when we sighted two boys with rifles who attempted to flee by the stream and we shot them dead near the bridge at dawn," explained the source, who did not want to be identified. Guardian newspaper
