Reports we are monitoring indicate that three Korean doctors quartered at T Junction area, Potiskum LGA of Yobe state, were early hours of Sunday slaughtered in their house by armed men.
Confirming the unfortunate incident, Yobe state Police Commissioner, Sanusi A.Rufai said: “It is true. The three doctors were slaughtered while sleeping in their house.”
The reports state that the assassins jumped into the doctors’ house at around 1:30am, while a curfew was supposed to be in effect, and over-powered them before slitting their throats.Sources from the hospital said that all of them were male doctors on contract handling Ear, Nose and Throat, Gynecology and Acupuncture cases at Potiskum General Hospital. “Their copses have been conveyed to Federal Medical Center, Azare,” Rufai said. No group has claimed responsibility yet for this recent attack even as Yobe state has been known to be a hot-bed of Boko Haram activities.
