Boko Haram Kills 16, Seizes Police's Armored Personnel Carrier (APC)

Boko Haram terror, at the weekend, raged in Borno
State where 16 persons were feared killed in a fresh
attack.
In two other attacks, five policemen were reportedly
abducted with their armoured personnel carrier
(APC) while a Chinese was killed and 10 others
kidnapped during an overnight attack in Kuseri
Village between Gamboru Ngala council and
Cameroun.
The attacks put President Goodluck Jonathan and
his counterparts from Nigeria’s neighbouring
countries meeting in Paris, France, yesterday, under
pressure to come up with concrete steps to address
terrorism in the sub region.
The missing/abducted policemen were identified by
sources as Inspector Luka Maina, Sergeant Manya
Chaka, Corporals Hassan Dauda, Emmanuel Onoche
and Umar Ali.
Our correspondent gathered that the Banki incident
took place on Friday at about 9:50 in the morning
when some policemen attached to Banki Division
were attacked by terrorists while trying to drop six
of them at the junction road who were to proceed
to their promotion course examination and
interview.
Another source said, “ Five policemen attached to
Banki, a border town with Bama and Cameroon
Republic, were attacked by Boko Haram. The
terrorists opened fire on the APC No: NPF4960c
conveying the policemen led by an inspector and
five others. The policemen quickly dropped from the
APC and ran into the bush before the terrorists
went away with the abandoned APC. As I am
talking to you now (yesterday), the whereabouts of
the policemen are yet to be known and we suspect
the terrorists might have kidnapped or killed them”.
Borno Commissioner of Police, Mr. Tanko Lawan,
confirmed the abduction of the five policemen and
the seizing of the APC.
The 16 persons were feared killed when some
gunmen allegedly attacked Ngubdala village near
Ngurosoye community in Bama Local Government
Area of Borno State
