A District Head of Dala Alamderi who is
also a protocol officer of the Borno State
Government in charge of Maiduguri
International Airport, Alhaji Liberty Dala
has been killed by gunmen suspected to
be members of Boko Haram sect.
Liberty, as he is fondly called was a
hardworking protocol man whose
responsibility before his untimely death,
was to arrange/book flying tickets to
Borno state Government, its officials and
politicians at the Maiduguri international
airport.
He was also the District Head of Dala
Alamderi, a position he inherited after
the demise of his father some years ago.
Our Correspondent gathered that the
gunmen on Thursday evening
ambushed the residence of the District
head in Dala Alamderi ward of Maiduguri
metropolis and shot him dead before
slicing his body with cutlass and fled
without being arrested in the presence
of his wife and children.
A resident who did not want his name
mentioned in print for security reason
told our Correspondent that the gunmen
ambushed the protocol officer around 9
pm on Thursday, but due to the 6am to
9pm curfew imposed in Maiduguri and
its environs, all residents and
neighbours upon hearing the sound of
gunshots could not come out to find out
what was happening in the deceased
house.
