Breaking: Boko Haram Hide Guns In Coffin, Kill 13 individuals

Presumed Islamist insurgents that concealed tools inside a casket have shot dead THIRTEEN individuals in an attack targeting sources in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, 2 witnesses claimed on Sunday.
Friday’s attack came as Nigeria’s army makes its most concerted initiative yet to finish a four-year insurgency by Boko Haram, a sect that has eliminated thousands in a campaign to make a state regulated by Islamic law in Nigeria’s northeast.

The army case to have actually driven Boko Haram warriors out of Maiduguri and from their camps near borders with Chad and Niger.
But around ten men pretending to be driving to a burial came to an area of Maiduguri late on Friday, pulled the guns from the coffin and opened fire on some houses where vigilantes who aid the military live, witnesses said.
“The Boko Haram killed 13 residents during their sporadic gunshots,” said an eyewitness, Saleh Ibrahim. He said soldiers later shot dead six insurgents whose bodies were left by the road.
A spokesman for the military joint task force (JTF), Sagir Musa, declined to comment on the attack but said vigilante groups in the area of Maiduguri targeted by the gunmen had helped identify Boko Haram suspects.
“People have been assisting the JTF with information to arrest the Boko Haram, so they were not happy and they came to deal with people there,” said another witness, Ali Musa.
Boko Haram and other Islamist groups like the al Qaeda-linked Ansaru have become the biggest threat to stability in Africa’s second-largest economy and top oil producer.
