Boko Haram: Gunmen Kill Man Obasanjo Met In Maiduguri

Late Babakura Fuggu

So on Thursday Sept 15th, ex-president Obasanjo paid a very private visit to the family of slain Boko Haram leader/founder, Mohammed Yusuf, in Maiduguri, where he begged the family to give peace a chance and forgive those who killed their leader.

The man Obasanjo met with was Mohammed Yusuf's brother-in-law, 48year old Babakura Fuggu. Just two days after the meeting, Fuggu was gunned down at his Borno state residence, same venue of the meeting with Obasanjo.

A lone gun man, reportedly in traditional Fulani flowing garb, suspected to be a member of Boko Haram, entered Fuggu's residence at about 1.20pm yesterday afternoon and shot him to death.

The police in Maiduguri say the killing was most likely in protest of Obasanjo's visit to the Yusufs. No one has been arrested yet.

Guess they are not interested in making peace. But was Obasanjo right in visiting Mohammed Yusuf's family? Do you negotiate with terrorists?www.mannastores.com
