Recent killings in Maiduguri would be actions of repentant Boko Haram members – Residents raise concern

Following the recent killings in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital residents have raised concern by reacting heavily to the mysterious killings currently ongoing in the state by unknown persons.

The resident believed that such an incident never happened prior to receiving and releasing suspected Boko Haram fighters who are surrendering in droves.

However, the residents urged the Borno State government to go back to the drawing board and trace suspected Boko Haram fighters that already release into society.

Recall that there were reports about the killing of two people, who were attacked by some unidentified persons. The incident occurred at London Ciki Area in Maiduguri metropolis, where a shop owner was killed and his corpse dumped inside a refrigerator, while all the goods in the store were carted away.

According to residents of Maiduguri, the spate has continued to increase by the day.

“There are many unreported incidents of killings. The state is becoming a nightmare again especially since blood-thirsty men were allowed freedom because they handed themselves to the authorities,” a resident of Maiduguri said.
