WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Kaduna – Forensic expert for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Abdullahi Muazu, was shot dead yesterday at his Kaduna residence by unknown gunmen suspected to be armed robbers. Muazu, who hails from Adamawa State, was killed at his home in Kudende, Kaduna industrial layout, at about 1.am after gunmen broke into his apartment, his wife Cecilia said. The gunmen took the late operative’s gun, money, cell phone and other valuables.
The police said it was an armed robbery incident.
Speaking to our correspondent, wife of the deceased said the gunmen broke into their apartment while they were asleep, and shot her husband twice before they left.
“I was deeply asleep when they came. I did not hear their voice but my husband heard them while they were robbing our children in their room. He woke me up and told me that thieves were around. After they finished beating our children, they came to us. They hit our door severally before they gained entrance,” she said.
“When they entered, they asked him to bring the money. He now asked them which money, but before the twinkle of an eye, one of them shot him in his leg. And after few minutes, they shot him again in his belly. The bullet passed through his stomach. The gun they used look like that of the police.”
She said they could not inform the police immediately because the robbers collected all their cell phones and that it was a neighbour who alerted the men of the Operation Yaki.
“They took away the money he withdrew from the bank on Monday to pay the school fees of our children, about N100,000 and they also took his gun. You know, he was a retired police officer. When we offered them our car key, they refused,” she said.
Cecilia said her husband died before they got to the hospital.
Spokesperson for the Kaduna police command DSP Aminu Lawan confirmed the incident and said the armed robbers ran away before the police got to the place.
“Our anti-robbery squad and the men of the Operation Yaki rushed to the scene when the distress call came but the robbers ran before we got there. We have immediately commenced investigation on the matter and we have also set in machinery to unravel the whereabouts of the hoodlums,” Lawal told our correspondent by telephone.
The late Muazu retired from the police as a superintendent before joining the EFCC, his family said. He was about 50 years old.
The EFCC in a statement yesterday said the deceased was until his death the officer in charge of its forensic unit.
“Information reaching the commission today (yesterday) confirms that our head of forensic unit was killed in a cruel manner in the early hours of today by unknown assailants.
“Those behind this attack may have succeeded in killing a strategic hand and a key witness in some of our on-going cases but their act has failed to dampen our spirit or deter us from continuing our investigation and prosecution of all forms of economic crimes and corruption in the country,” spokesman for EFCC Femi Babafemi said.
He said the commission’s chairman Farida Waziri had directed a team of operatives from the Abuja headquarters to proceed to Kaduna to assist the relevant security agencies in the investigation of the murder.
In February, a former top detective of the EFCC Danjuma Mohammed, who investigated alleged corruption cases of some top politicians in the country, was shot dead in Abuja by unknown gunmen. Mohammed, then an investigator attached to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), was killed by two gunmen in front of a new house he had just rented for one of his wives at Gwarinpa.
