Three other persons were injured including a soldier and they were immediately evacuated to Biu General Hospital. We regret to state that the injured soldier also died at the hospital, Acting Director Of Army Public Relations Colonel Usman Sani said in a statement.

According to him, the general area has been cordoned off and Explosive Ordinance Device (EOD) team from Forward Operation Base (FOB) in Buratai have been mobilized to carryout further search of the area.

How can explosives be set secretly close to check points? Something is wrong somewhere. Somebody might be a traitor among the solders

It seems Boko Haram boys are angry that Niger Delta Avengers have taken away their relevance and attention, hence they are fighting back to recapture the headlines grin

One way or the other, Nigerians are dying. If it's not hunger, it's bomb blast but I think the later is better cause you won't have to suffer.

is there any different in this government from the former one in teams of security? you be the judge.... it's very clear Buhari and APC only drag power from PDP without any outer of leadership or proper planning to rule this country. there is no straight ideology.. the manifesto of APC is a scam. buhari said he will defeat book haram in 3 months. tinibu must be in shame by now.

democracy day... boko haram still strike what is it to celebrate when citizens are dieing like chicken. is Nigeria any better after colonial time? would it have been better under colonial.
?

you might say the bombing doesn't concern you but what if the next one get closer to you or any family member..

our hearts should be for our brothers and sisters who live in the northeast, these guys are seeing hell all in the name of insurgency.

An army friend who returned from the northeast showed clips of the heinous acts perpetrated by this useless cowards and I can't help but weep for them. The government and all the private individuals who has a hand in these events would meet their folly one day.

I hate the hiporcrisy and lies of Buhari and his shameless government but I can't help but pray that he succeeds in the fight against terrorism cos even though I can't be in the northeast or have any family member there, these are lives that are been wasted, these are precious lives, it can be me it can be you
