Following the
reports earlier today that two prominent Borno State Emirs, the Emir of Gwoza,
Alhaji Idrissa Timta and Emir of Uba Alhaji Ali Ibn Ismaila Mamza were
kidnapped by Boko Haram men while on their way to Gombe to attend the burial of
Emir of Gombe, Shehu Abubakar.
According to Daily Trust, one of the Emirs,
Alhaji Idrissa Timta is reported dead. Security sources said he died of heart
attack while fleeing into the bush after gunmen attacked their vehicle and
fired several shots which forced it to stop.
“Already,
arrangement is being made to bring his corpse to Gwoza from Shafa. His corpse
was found in the bush,” a source said.
The Emir of
Uba, Alhaji Idrissa Timta, who is younger, escaped while many of the people in
their entourage have been reportedly abducted by the attackers.
It was
gathered that most of the vehicles in the convoy have been set ablaze.
