The Islamist group Boko Haram has claimed responsibility for
the killing of a former Nigerian deputy police chief in the northern city of
Kano and vowed more of such attacks. "Yesterday
God gave us victory and we succeeded in killing a former DIG [deputy inspector
general]... in Kano city," the sect said in an email statement to
reporters late on Wednesday. The
group also vowed to carry out more of such killings of senior government
officials.

"By God's grace very soon top government officials will
have no peace as we will intensify attacks on them wherever they are," it
said. Two gunmen on a motorcycle shot
dead Abubakar Saleh Ningi, his driver and a bodyguard in Kano on Tuesday, where
Boko Haram has carried out a wave of attacks. Ningi and other top police officers were relieved of
duty in January following co-ordinated bomb and gun attacks in Kano, northern
Nigeria's largest city and commercial centre, that killed at least 185 people.
