JUST IN: Soldiers Blown To Pieces While Escorting Civilians Through Village Dominated By Boko Haram Fighters

 

According to Punch newspaper,two soldiers were killed in a landmine explosion set by Boko Haram terrorists, who also killed eight passengers and injured many others on the Maiduguri-Damboa road. The explosion happened at around 11a.m on Tuesday near Nyeliri, a deserted village in Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State. The blast caused panic, and motorists and passengers ran in different directions, even though they were being escorted by the military. The Maiduguri-Damboa road is still dangerous due to frequent attacks, despite having daily security escorts.

 

Just last week, on Friday, April 25, six charcoal sellers were killed in the Mulgoi area. On Sunday, April 27, two farmers were also killed by Boko Haram while working on their farms in Damboa LG. The District Head of Damboa, Alhaji Lawan Maina, confirmed the attack and said that the rise in Boko Haram violence is worrying and largely unanswered. Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume (APC, Borno South) also urged the Federal Government to equip the military with better weapons to stop the ongoing killings and destruction in the region.
