Please, Don’t Let me Die: Cry of Boko Haram victim

A dying victim of Boko Haram bomb blast in Taraba State yesterday had just one request to NEMA officials attending to him: “Please, don’t let me die, do everything possible to save me” But as fate had its way, the man died at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Jalingo before help could reach him.

That was the pathetic fall-out from the attack by the Islamist sect in Jalingo which claimed 11 lives with scores injured. This is coming barely 24 hours after Boko Haram struck at churches within the Bayero University, Kano (BUK) when two profssors and 13 other worshippers were killed. Many people were injured in the attack.
