Gunmen on motorcycles kill lawmaker
Gunmen riding on motorcycles have killed a prominent politician in Nigeria’s second city of Kano, officials said Sunday amid a wave of similar shootings blamed on a radical Islamist group.
Boko Haram insurgents have attacked scores of political leaders and other symbols of authority in Nigeria’s restive north. A police source, who confirmed the killing, said the group may be responsible for the latest violence.
Ibrahim Abba Garko, a lawmaker in the assemblyof Kano state, of which Kano city is the capital, was shot three times as he sat with friends at a popular meeting spot near a petrol station.
“He was shot in the head, chest and shoulder by the gunmen and from all indications he was their target,” said Salisu Ibrahim Riruwai, another Kano state lawmaker.
“He died on the spot,” Riruwai said, adding that two others were seriously injured in the attack.
Such targetted political assassinations have been rare in Kano, although the historic city was on January 20 the site of the group’s deadliest ever attack when at least 185 people were killed.
Boko Haram has said it wants to create an Islamic state in Nigeria’s mainly Muslim north, although the group is believed to consist of various cells with different aims. Attacks linked to local rivalries have in the past been blamed on Boko Haram.
The group’s insurgency is estimated to have left 2,800 people dead since 2009, including killings by the security services.

The Police in Nasarawa State on Saturday killed four armed robbery suspects that had been terrorising motorists plying the Abuja-Keffi-Akwanga road.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr Abayomi Akeremale, told t reporters in an interview, that the police over-powered the hoodlums and killed four of them during an exchange of fire. He said the police got wind of the robbers’ presence on the road through a distress call.
Akeremale said that one of the suspects had been arrested and was in police custody in Lafia, while two were at large. The commissioner said machinery had been set in motion to arrest other members of the gang. “The suspect has provided useful information about the whereabouts of the others.”
He said the police had been monitoring the Keffi-Abuja road following various complaints by motorists. “We have been receiving a lot of reports and complaints from motorists and the State House of Assembly about the men of the underworld terrorising innocent citizens along Abuja-Keffi-Akwanga road.”
Akeremale said the command had deployed additional patrol teams in order to check crime in the area and the state in general. He thanked the government for providing the command with logistics such as patrol vehicles in order to curtail crime in the state.
Akeremale appealed to the people to give useful information to the police and other security agencies that would lead to the arrest of suspects in the area. He said that the police were on a 24-hour patrol in the state, adding: “there will be no hiding place for criminals in the state.’’
PHOTO: Family Gives Six-Month-Old Girl A Snake To Play With Because They Are Too Poor To Buy Toys For Her
Her family cannot afford to buy her toys so this this six-month-old plays with snakes instead.
Sidhi Siddharth Sinune crawls behind the python and shrieks in delight as it weaves through her tiny legs.
While her parents are away working in the fields in a rural Indian village in Maharashtra, the baby girl pats the reptile and even playfully bites its tail.
The non-venomous snake could easily squeeze Sidhi to death or swallow her whole.
But her father, Siddharth Sinune, said he cannot afford to buy her toys – instead bringing home his prey from his job as a snake catcher.
Before putting them back in the forests, he keeps them at home for his only daughter’s amusement.
Siddharth said: ‘Sidhi has an unusual bonding with the snakes and surprisingly they too like to play with her.
‘Being a poor farmer, I can’t buy her costly toys but I can get her snakes to play with.
