Gun battle in Borno as JTF, terrorists clash

Soldiers shoot Kaduna official in Boko Haram scare

IN an incident that illustrates how the current state of insecurity has put everyone on edge, soldiers and policemen attached to Government House, Kaduna yesterday opened fire on a Director in the state Ministry of Information, Mr. Isuwa Kiforo, after he was mistaken for a Boko Haram suicide bomber.

Kiforo, who was in his official car, allegedly forced his way into the exit gate of the Government House. He was immediately rushed to the nearby 44 Military Hospital for medical attention.

Eyewitnesses said when the security men conducted a search on the car, nothing incriminating was found in it.
