Gunmen Burn Police Station, Telecoms Masts, Kill Policeman In Yobe

Gunmen suspected to be members of the Islamist sect group Boko Haram on Monday torched the Bara Divisional Police Station, Gulani local government council secretariat complex and telecom masts of MTN and Globacom, with Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs, and rocket propelled launchers at 1.30 a.m. A policeman who attempted to protect the station from being set ablaze lost his life in the process.gunmen1
Eyewitnesses say the gunmen also snatched three vehicles belonging to the council, including a Toyota Hilux van, and fled towards Buni/Yadi, adding that the gunmen that overpowered the policemen at the council headquarters, operated for over three hours, before they succeeded in torching the station and telecom masts in the council area.
Bara is the council headquarters of Gulani, 160 kilometres south of Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.
Yobe State Police Commissioner, Sanusi Rufai, while confirming the incident said the gunmen employed rocket propelled launchers, IEDs and petrol bombs in torching the police station and telecom masts, noting that no arrest had been made.

    These guys are not fighting any known good cause. They are systematically causing a lot of pain for innocent people.

    Hey there! I realize this is kind of off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does operating a well-established website such as yours take a large amount
    of work? I'm brand new to writing a blog however I do write in my diary everyday. I'd like to
    start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and
    feelings online. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or
    tips for new aspiring bloggers. Thankyou!

    Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site. It's
    simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say you've
    done a superb job with this. In addition, the blog loads super fast for
    me on Firefox. Excellent Blog!
