The attacks came after a previous scare on Lagos Street in the morning proved to be a false alarm.
Our source said the militia members swung into action when they sighted the cadet in a soldier’s uniform. He was gunned down in the presence of his mother and younger brother, and his attackers immediately escaped on their bike before some soldiers arrived. The attack signals that Boko Haram may have decided to kill security officials in addition to striking at their posts and offices.
