Luck run out of three suspected Boko Haram terrorists who allegedly came all the way from Bama council area on Saturday evening and invaded the El- Amin Daggash Mosque in Government Reserved Area, GRA, in Maiduguri, Borno state during Tafsir (Ramadan Preaching), attempting to kill the preacher, Modu Mustapha, as they were lynched by angry mobs killing one of the suspected and the arrests of the other two before they were also killed.
NigerianEYE gathered that the terrorists came in a Golf Saloon car and one tricycle armed with AK47 rifles and a pistol before they met their untimely death.
A source told our correspondent that the incident happened at about 4pm, when the Tafsir programme was going on. The source said someone sighted one of the terrorists with a pistol sitting among the congregation, and alerted others who apprehended him.
It was gathered that immediately the suspect was nabbed, a mob swooped on him and beat him to death, while the other two suspects who were also inside the mosque were arrested in the process of attempting to escape. They were equally beaten to death some few metres away from the mosque.
However, The Joint Task Force (JTF) ‘Operation Restore Order’ in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, has said it was not a Boko Haram attack, saying it was an error of judgment by a policeman on duty who pursued someone who allegedly stole a Keke Napep and a bag of rice and drove off towards the mosque.
A statement by the JTF spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa, said: “The incident was not a terrorist attack as insinuated, rather, it was an error of judgment by a policeman on duty that pursued someone who allegedly stole a tricycle and a bag of rice and drove off. The policeman was in mufti, wore Police reflective jacket, pursued the alleged thief and fired two gun shots.”

Why shld they ATTACK a MOSQUE? Isn't it a PLACE of WORSHIP-which is one of the OBLIGATION of TRUE MUSLIM FAITHFULS?
ReplyDeleteSo fellow country men, WE can all SEE that these BH are KILLING PEOPLE, not for RELIGIOUS IDEAS but to SETTLE SCORES or POLITICAL.
I wish all of them wld be PAID back in their OWN COIN in this WAY.

ReplyDeleteDid they bomb them the way they bomb churches? What is the proof that they were Boko Haram? They were theives that just escaped and wanted to hide themselves, according to the story. Boko Haram are more aggressive than that. Boko Haram are terrorist, not criminals that you can just beat to death. Stop exaggerating the story . They did not attack them, so look for another heading. They might be planning to go out for operation after they prayed in mosque.
