32 Dead As 6 Suicide Bombers Hit Damboa by OfficialNNB: 8:34pm On Jun 17, 2018
A record number of 32 persons have been killed while 84 others injured after six female suicide bombers hit Damboa Local Government Are in Borno State.

NAN, however, reports that according to some locals, the death toll increased as a result of a misfiring from the Nigerian Army’s artillery, this has, however, been denied by the Nigerian Army.

A witness Malam Buba Shettima giving his statement said that two separate bomb blasts occurred in Shuwari and Abbachari, at about 8:30 p.m.

“The whole of Damboa was shaken by the unfortunate incident. We all scampered for safety as the blasts were coming from different directions. There were bodies everywhere.

“We suspected that the many deaths recorded were a result of the military artillery.”

Another local Mohammed Hassan, corroborating the claim, said:

“At about 8:30 pm of on Saturday night, an attack suspected to be from an artillery killed 31 innocent people in Damboa Shehuri and Abachari.

The attacks came from two separate directions. My house was among some of the houses destroyed.”

Maj.-Gen. Rogers Nicholas, commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, denied the claim, saying the killings were caused by suicide attacks and not military artillery.

Buhary has failed in all aspects of governance, most especially on security.


RIP to the dead.
