Boko Haram Mine Kills Mom, Two Children by ogododo: 10:43pm On Oct 30, 2017 |
Boko Haram mine kills mom, two children Four people , including a mother and her two children , were killed on Monday when a vehicle hit a mine planted by Boko Haram Islamists near the town of Banki on the Nigerian border with Cameroon , sources told AFP . The vehicle was part of a convoy heading to Maiduguri under military escort when it hit the mine as the insurgents opened fire a “few kilometres” from the border town of Banki , they said . “The explosion killed four people including a mother and her two children while nine people were severely injured,” a militia assisting the military in fighting Boko Haram in Banki told AFP . “The injured were taken to a Unicef - run health facility in Banki where they are receiving treatment, ” he said . The explosion was preceded by a barrage of gunfire on the convoy from Boko Haram fighters lurking at the side of the highway, said a driver in the convoy who gave his first name as Abdullahi . Escorting troops returned fire and repelled the attack “ but one of the vehicles hit a mine the attackers planted , ” the driver added. “The vehicle exploded. Four people inside were killed and nine were injured.” Banki , which is 130 kilometres (80 miles ) southeast of the Borno state capital Maiduguri, has been repeatedly targeted by Boko Haram suicide attacks. In August , 11 people were killed when the jihadists raided a camp housing 45 ,000 displaced by the insurgency and stole food supplies. http://punchng.com/boko-haram-mine-kills-mom-two-children/ |
