Hello Friends!
Here's some breaking News, courtesy PM News: When will all these end? These ''killers'' are claiming responsibility for all the deaths, pain and sufferrings experienced by Nigerians so far...What next?
Suspected members of the Boko Haram sect have attacked a police station and a prison in Damagun, Yobe State and freed 14 inmates.
The attackers also destroyed a house used as a military outpost.
Three of the attackers and a policeman were killed in the attack late Wednesday while two other policemen were shot and injured, according to the spokesman of the state police command, Toyin Gbadegesin.
“The gunmen also burnt down a house used as a military post and an adjoining building housing some Korean doctors employed by the Yobe state government,” he told Agence France Presse.
A purported spokesman for Boko Haram told reporters in a conference call that the group was responsible for the attack.
The spokesman, who goes by the name Abul Qaqa and who has claimed to speak on behalf of the group a number of times in the past, said they launched the attack to free one of their members who had been arrested in the town.
“We were responsible for last night’s attacks in Damagun in which we burnt down the police station and a military lodge and also broke into the prison and freed inmates,” he said.
“We carried out the attacks in order to free one of our members arrested in the town following a tip-off and detained in police custody. We succeeded in our mission,” the purported spokesman added.
One resident said what appeared to be a large crowd of attackers were shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is greatest) as they stormed the building. Another resident said the gunmen engaged the police in a shootout before hurling explosives into the station.
