Five persons including three brothers were yesterday shot dead by unknown gunmen in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
The three brothers were killed at
Ganaram area of the town shortly after leaving their parents, whom they
visited in their usual tradition to drop foodstuffs for the Ramadan
fast.
But they were attacked and killed, their Toyota Camry car snatched and taken away.
There was apprehension and mourning with many contemplating relocating from the area for fear of another attack.
In another incident, there was
shooting at Gamboru area of the town, known for incessant attacks from
the notorious Boko Haram sect.
Two people were shot dead around the Customs office in the area.
When contacted to confirm the
incidents last night, spokesman of the Joint Task Force (JTF), Lt. Col.
