Female Judge escapes death from suspected Boko Haram in Maiduguri

A top female judge (names withheld) was said to have narrowly escaped the bullets of some gunmen suspected to be members of the Islamic militants Boko Haram, when they stormed her residence at the G.R.A, in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

A source who did not want his name in print told Sunday Tribune on Saturday, that the incident happened on Thursday evening when some young men came looking for the judge at about the time she normally returned home from office.

According to him, when they arrived the residence in a gulf car, one of her aides who was already speaking with her on phone sensed danger when he discovered that the young men were carrying guns and warned her not to come home.

He said: “That was what saved her because immediately she learnt that some armed men were waiting for her at home, she did not bother to go home and after waiting for almost an hour, they drove off in their gulf car.”

He disclosed that since the incident occurred, the judge had not returned home as they even learnt that she may be relocating to Abuja as a result of the incident.

When our correspondent asked whether the incident had been reported to the police, he said the police were aware of the incident, but when Sunday Tribune contacted Borno Police Command, the officer who answered the call on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, Yuguda Abdullahi said the CP was not available but said he was not aware of the matter. http://tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/news/item/9518-boko-haram-female-judge-escapes-death-in-maiduguri
