BARELY 24 hours after a head teacher and three others were killed by gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram members, some gunmen have burnt the house of a village head in Gwaje, Alhaji Mohammed Salisu Auwal, and killed two of his children.
The two children, according to a neighbour of Auwal, were tied by their attackers who slit their throats before throwing the bodies into the burning house.
He said: "The gunmen ransacked my neighbour's house, tied down the two kids, believed to be the biological sons of the village head inside the house and burnt them beyond recognition.
"It is not easy to conclude that they were hissons, because they were burnt beyond recognition as we could not differentiate their identities from other children in the estate."
Auwal said the village head was suspected to have left the town with other members ofhis family for safety reasons before the attackers torched the house with petrol-bombs.
Confirming the incident yesterday in Damaturu, the Yobe State Police Commissioner, Patrick Egbuniwe, said: "The hoodlums have resorted to targeting people at their residences with knives, cutlasses andpetrol-bombs, because if they use their gunsin the continued assassination of residents, the sounds of gunshots will
alert men of the military Joint Task Force (JTF) and the police."
He said no arrests have been made yet, but the JTF and police were on top of the security situation as the 15-hour curfew has remarkably reduced the terrorists' movements to attack and kill in Potiskum."
Also in Borno State, two gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram sect members, attacked the Bar Beach Beer Parlour (BBP) in Maiduguri, killing a former worker (names withheld) and injuring two others.
According to an eyewitness, "the gunmen came in a tricycle chanting God is great in Arabic Language and went straight to the beer parlour where several gunshots were fired into the head and chest of the civil servant before men of the JTF rushed to the Bar Beach.
"We were frightened with the gunshots fired at the people near the beer parlour, and we did not know that their target was the retired civil servant. Shops and market stalls were hurriedly shut before the soldiersrushed to the scene at about 3.00 p.m."
He told The Guardian that last Wednesday; a tea vendor was also shot dead with three other people injured by suspected gunmen of the Boko Haram sect.
