Sect kills secret police officer in north Nigeria
Authorities say suspected gunmen from a radical Islamist sect have shot and killed a secret police officer in northeast Nigeria.The attack happened Monday in Maiduguri, where the sect known as Boko Haram once had its main mosque. Witnesses said the officer of the State Security Service, the country’s secret police, was killed while getting a haircut.
Ahmed Abdullahi, the head of State Security Service in Borno state, confirmed the killing Monday.
Meanwhile, authorities in Kano say suspected gunmen from the sect killed two sect members who had been arrested by vigilantes. That came as the military said two women were killed by soldiers’ stray gunfire in the city during a sect attack Sunday night.
