Ex-Prison Boss, Jarma Katagun, Dies After Boko Haram Attack

Bauchi Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Ladan
By SaharaReporters, New York

SaharaReporters just learnt that Jarma Katagun, a former comptroller general of the Nigerian Prisons, died last night from gunshot wounds inflicted on him in an attack by members of the Boko Haram sect.

Suspected Boko Haram gunmen shot at Mr. Katagun yesterday in his hometown of Azare, Bauchi State, as the former prisons official left a mosque. Critically wounded, he was taken to an undisclosed hospital for emergency treatment. A family source disclosed to SaharaReporters that Mr. Katagun died overnight of complications from his gunshot wounds. Two security guards of the retired prisons official also lost their lives in yesterday’s attack.  

Mr. Katagun is one of two high-profile victims of attacks by the extremist Islamist group in the last 24 hours. The other casualty was Zannah Mallam Gana, the Borno State Commissioner for Justice, who was shot dead yesterday.  Mr. Gana was shot dead in Bama, Borno State.

Seek forgiveness for your words

Only idiot will not learn how to defend his or her self. I wonder y u open ur eyes & c not, wit ur ear u hear not & u cant shut ur mouth. Where u're is only what u can be well acknowledge, else where is far away from u so dont 8 bcus of wat u c, hear where u are but pray for ur safety destination. Bcus whose gonna be d next. Check out somewhere else u'll c dose who do evils in d name of Christian if ask me i'll guide u tru. Like wise so many good peoples in Islam. Here we are doing good, living peacefully both Islam and Christian without no fear so why 8 in ur mind when the Holy Book doesn't teaches u such. Only 2 religions in Nigeria what about other countries with many religious. Peace... Allah no better

Nigeria and its religious and ethnic stupidity

I find it really amusing how you nigerians are on each others necks. One thing i have noticed for some months, hardly do the northerners instigate or insult christainity but we southners are always on about them and their religion. Its a shame though, you all should grow up and live with their flaws and get your shit right.

You are the biggest idiot n fool of our time

Wot do you need his identity for. So you can kill him too. Candidly tell us that your own God drinks human blood.*#Infidelindeed*#

Buhari Pass ur father

He who abuse general buhari is the type of street people who was born wt out Marriange they r the type of ppl who sleep wt their sister for didnt knw wat is right. Long life the next president the federal republic of Nigeria insha Allah. pls stop insulting the man of integrity .

Buhari

What has this got to do with Buhari. Animal

Buhari

What has Buhari got to do with this?

overwhelming

Our brothers in the north neva bargained. When the igbos complained in maiduguri he said any person that is tired should leave maiduguri. God will help us.

Northernistan States

Why not change all the states in the North to answer Northernistan states. Afghanistan and Pakistan are two Muslim countries. The news coming out from these two countries-including other Muslim countries like them-are news of bombing and death.

Left Behind

Nigeria has been left behind when it comes to development. We are nowhere where we should be as a nation compared to the rest of the world. When a nation just slightly bigger than the State of Texas in US (land mass) cannot boast of 24/7 power supply, worst roads in africa, no identity system for its citizens, no birth and death record, poorest healthcare, most expensive mobile phone tarrif comparatively. and now lumbered with the menace of Boko Haram. So we are left to fight this battle with archaic weapons. kind of like taking a bow and spare to a high tech battle. God help us. It is high time for a national debate on where we want to go as a nation. Where do we see ourselves 50 years from now?

Islam and Boko Haram

I think our muslim brethren should pardon people who come here to insult them. They must understand that people see all these violence from men claiming pride in dying during martyrdom operations. They see YouTube videos supporting martyrdom. They see a man an ambassador - who fought for the freedom of Benghazi /Libya being murdered because someone he did not know and had never met said something bad about the prophet. Muslim leaders must come together in conference to issue definite proclamations about the sanctity of life. They must state that no one can be killed for being an unbeliever or for insulting Islam. No one must be killed for converting out of the faith. Their sons and daughters must be free to chose their faith. When this is done the fools that insult Islam will be silenced.

From their

From their names,prayers,identity,the even proclaimd it.no doubt they r muslims,u knw it,otr are you suggestng dat Abu QaQa is a christian.guy shut up n face facts.u see dem on newspapers n on dis platform n dem claim they r nt muslims?hmmh FOOLANIS

the problem with islam

You said the man was destined to die "boko haram or no bokoharam". This is the destiny teaching that makes muslim to slaughter. They believe if u are slaughtered then its ur destiny and this idiotic reasoning is evil. Muslims shld have a wall built around them to allow them be in isolation just the way isreal has done to them. A people u can't live with and a ppl that call others unholy. Is it holy to kill? Jesus says"the devil has come to decieve to kill and destroy and that's what muslims are doing. So who is this devil?

U re fool! don't connect Boko

U re fool! don't connect Boko Haram wth any political party,Boko Haram they re on their own and they are not a muslim.A muslim will never kill a muslim in the name of Holy war.our leaders should better wake up.To my own understanding BH was created just to waste the Northern states.pls nver call them a muslims,a'm muslim but we re not supporting their mission b/c its wrong islamically.MAY GOD EXPOSE THEM WITH THEIR SPONSORS,AMEEN.

You are very stupid!

U that said,it‘s the work of buhari & islam,u‘re very stupid,& if u‘re bold enough,bring out ur identity,useless infidel that does‘nt knw what u‘re worshiping.

KINGDOM DIVIDED

A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. They've started killing people of the same belief like them, soon and very soon, they'll face their sponsors (some of them have American schools in Nigeria).

mtsewww

u ar the first nd last. Why cnt u understand lyf? It means u ar stil in darkness on d activities of BH and their sponsors,nd yet u hav a gut to criticise someones religion nd personality. Gud4notin Dog.

Synonymous

Islam, Boko Haram, murder are all synonymous. It's a religion born of hate so you can't get less.
God will always save His own that believe in Him.

NIGERIAN MUSLIMS, ARISE!

When will the true Muslims in Nigeria arise and confront this minority, militant, criminal and evil elements called Boko Haram? The Prophet's teachings clearly forbid the killing of an innocent Muslim by another; much more when they are just leaving the house of prayer (ie. the mosque). These sect members are the real Kafiris hiding under the guise of Islam. Enough is enough!

Hmmmm!

Is this how these animals will continue killing people? What is really going on? Who knows who they are gonna attack next, I have really pondered on it I could not fathom what they are trying to achieve. Are they happy when they kill people? No answers. God please help deliver this country and let these animals and their sponsors be put to shame, let your name be glorified.

That is Buhari for u

That is Buhari who u want to be ur president, and that is Islam u are proud with as religion, these two things are behind this killings in Nigeria-BUHARI and ISLAM.

Hmmmm!

im

im sorry

It not just about Boko Haram!

It not just about Boko Haram! It is evident that Soyinka is suffering from senility of the brain. He always invests enormous “intellectual” energy to deliberately inject hatred of Islam into his audience. Yes, he has a reputation in creating irrational fear for religion, Islam and Muslims. He makes use of every opportunity to popularize his paganistic conception of the universe. A cursory read of his presentation shows that he doesn’t even understand the mind of his audience. He always thinks he is in the theater lecture of University of Ibadan.

Boko haram are not Muslims

With all dese,I wonder why some ignorant people would still say Boko haram is an Islamic sect fighting a religious cause.

Ex-Prison Boss, Jarma Katagun, Dies After Boko Haram Attack
