Prison comptroller Usman Maina Kaina said Tuesday the attackers from the Boko Haram sect shot the two people in the span of an hour Monday night in the besieged city of Maiduguri, near Nigeria's border with Cameroon, Chad and Niger. No arrests have been made in the attacks.
Boko Haram is responsible for a rash of killings targeting security officers, local leaders and clerics in the area over the last year. They have also claimed responsibility for a bombing at the nation's police headquarters that killed two in June.
