Baku – APA. A police commissioner in northern Nigeria says suspected members of a radical Muslim sect have killed an Islamic cleric, APA reports quoting news.yahoo.com website.
Commissioner Ibrahim Abdu said authorities believe Sheikh Bashir Mustapha was killed Saturday morning by gunmen belonging to a sect called Boko Haram.
The cleric was an outspoken opponent of the group, which engineered a massive prison break last month.
The group has lately been responsible for a rash of killings committed by Kalashnikov-carrying men riding motorcycle taxis.
Boko Haram — which means "Western education is sacrilege" in the local Hausa language — has campaigned for the implementation of strict Shariah law.
