ANPP Borno Chairman Escapes Death As ‘Civilian JTF’ Burns His house
Chairman of the All Nigeria Peoples Party for Borno state, Alhaji Mala Othman narrowly escaped death after the 'Civilian JTF' stormed his GRA residence in Maiduguri on Monday and burnt it down accusing him of being a sponsor for the Boko Haram sect.
The youths who were in their hundreds stormed the chairman's house, demanding for his arrest, burnt down his house while chanting Sai mun Kawo Karshensu, meaning (we must bring to an end their activities).
Efforts by the youths to arrest the chairman was abortive as he was sneaked out of his house by security operatives.
The youths avoided lost of innocent lives as they blocked the entire major streets leading to his house.
On realizing that the ANPP chairman has been smuggled out, the youth set his house ablaze and proceeded
to the house of his boss, the former Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, chanting “Saura Mai Gidan shi” meaning ( His boss’ house is the next), but they were prevented by the security men who manned the gate. The security men also shot sporadically into the air to disperse the rampaging youth.
Apparently the youths have been hunting for the ANPP chairman, Alhaji Mala Othman, alleging that both the Chairman and his boss were responsible for the ongoing crisis in the state.
