Nigerian jihad, chapter 135

More explosions, more destruction, more poverty. The continuing jihad by Boko Haram in Nigeria consistently targets institutions and businesses which stand in the way of the expansion of Islam; banks, the police and alcohol. The carnage will continue, innocents will die and deeper into poverty slips society. This is not good for the development of a civilized peoples but...

This is Islam.

Suspected Islamists bomb police station, bank in Nigeria

Gunmen suspected to be members of the Islamist sect Boko Haramon Saturday bombed a police station, a bank and a beer parlour in Nigeria's northeastern Yobe state, residents said.

The gunmen threw explosives into a police station and a beer parlour in Geidam town, 160 kilometres (100 miles) from the state capital Damaturu, they said.

The attackers, armed with Kalashnikov rifles, also bombed a bank near the police station and carted away money from its vault.

Gaidam is the home town of the Yobe state governo Ibrahim Gaidam.

"The attackers who are from all indications members of Boko Haram came in a large number and attacked the police station with explosives and gunshots and burnt it down", resident Abba Kashim said.

"They also bombed and robbed a bank nearby," Kashim said on the phone from Geidam.

Idrissa Galda, member of a local vigilante group, said the attackers also bombed a beer parlour and burnt down adjoining shops.

The attackers kept firing indiscriminately and residents remained indoors Galda said.

Details of casualties were still unclear.
