At least two people were killed in a suspected Boko Haram attack on
polling stations in northeast Nigeria on Saturday, residents and an
election official told AFP. The attacks happened in the villages of
Birin Bolawa and Birin Fulani in the Nafada district of Gombe state,
which has been repeatedly targeted by the Islamists.
An election official, who requested anonymity, said: “We could hear
the gunmen shouting, ‘Didn’t we warn you about staying away from (the)
election?’”
