An emerging criminal gang suspected to be 'Shila Boys' on Saturday, stabbed one Abdulkadir Umar to death and stole his cell phone in Adamawa State, Northeast Nigeria. Wielding light weapons, Shila Boys operate mostly in the early hours to rob people of cell phones, bags, jewellery, among other items. They often target travellers or those on early morning exercise along solitary streets. The deadly group terrorises Yola, the capital of Adamawa State and other cities, often killing or inflicting injuries on their victims.
