Gun Fire in Taraba.....
Information reaching chidiukwu.com
indicates that another Boko Haram
offensive have taken place again – only
days after the massacre that took over
200 lives in Nyanya, Abuja federal capital
territory.
According to the information, unknown
gunmen launched attack at select
communities of Wukari local
government area in Taraba State. The
attack began at about 1:30am on Sunday
Easter morning and continued till 3pm
Sunday Easter afternoon. The police
image maker confirmed to chidiukwu.com that the attacks began in
the middle of the night in a manner
resembling that of Kaura community
[Kaduna] attacks by Fulani herdsmen.
According to the police, the attacks
initially was thought to be Fulani
herdsmen but as the attacks progressed,
it became obvious that the attackers were
most likely Boko Haram jihadists.
It was confirmed that a church was burnt
down during the attack – Christian
Church of Nigeria – along with many
homes belonging to non-Muslims.
Eyewitness account indicates that fifteen
corpse were seen littered on the streets –
within the line of fire.
In response, the youths of the Wukari
communities – were said to have
organized themselves – and had reacted
to attack a Mosque and burn it down.
The youths were reported to join the
attack against the Boko Haram jihadists.
The information remains sketchy but
police sources told our reporter that the
“carnage of this attack” may end up
worse than the Nyanya attack. The police
source declined to give the number of
dead. The source points to two
personalities as responsible for the
violent attacks – as Danladi Shehu and
Tanimu. He also points to the acting
governor as a Boko Haram sympathizer.
