Top official killed in Nigeria state hit by Islamist attacks

Gunmen have killed the justice commissioner for a Nigerian state at the heart of an Islamist insurgency and also an ex-prisons chief in another volatile area, government and police sources said Tuesday.

It was not immediately clear who was behind the killings, but they occurred after security forces on Monday shot dead two suspected high-ranking members of Islamist extremist group Boko Haram.

In Borno state, gunmen stormed the justice commissioner's home late Monday in the town of Bama in the country's northeast, the region where Boko Haram is based and which has been hard hit by gun and bomb attacks.

"We received the report of the death of the commissioner of justice, Zannah Malam Gana," a government official said on condition of anonymity. "He was shot dead by some gunmen in his house around 8:45 pm last night."

Man arrested by police over racist tweet.

The attack was aimed at West Ham striker Carlton Cole following their disastrous 3-0 deafeat in Swansea over the weekend.

In keeping up with the usual smart remarks most from Essex are notorious for,  the arrested man wrote:

‘3-0?  3 f****** nil?? Get the f*** away from my club  u f****** useless n***** c***’.'

Cole's followers were quick to denounce the foul mouthed comments. The 28 year old Cole posted the tweet on his account later writing:

'Whether I am crap or had a bad game has nothing to with my race, creed or religion. lets just keep it FOOTBALL. Kapeesh?'

Essex police who made the swift arrest were quick to show how effective they were by also tweeting:

Information on racist tweets passed to officer. Essex Police is investigating. Thanks to all who have brought this to our attention.'

This is not the first time Cole has been subject to racist abuse. Back in 2009 he was the object of racist affection at Upton Park when Millwall fans chanted monkey sounds during the Carling Cup.
