Boko Haram kills Borno monarch Suspected Boko Haram insurgents have killed a monarch in Borno State, barely 24 hours after abducting over 100 female students at a Government Secondary School in the state. The Emir of Gwoza, Alhaji Idrissa Timta, who last Sunday raised the alarm about the activities of the sect in his domain, was shot dead along with his palace guard. Tuesday night killing of the emir was followed up with the murder of no fewer than 19 other people in another part of the state. Hyeldi Bwala, a politician said the gunmen marched into the emir’s palace on Tuesday evening and gunned him down along with his security guard. The monarch had sent a “save our souls,” message to the state government, saying his people were being attacked daily.
