16 feared killed by terrorist bomb in Borno

No fewer than 16 persons were feared dead and 20 others injured when a commercial vehicle plying the Baga -Kukawa Road in Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State drove over an Improvised Explosive Device suspected to have been planted by ISWAP terrorist group.

Credible military intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in the Lake Chad region, that the incident occurred on Wednesday, April 17. Although Makama reported 10 feared dead, credible sources told The PUNCH they were no fewer than 16. 7Div spokesman, Lt Col Ajemusu Jingina, said, “I will not comment on the incident, as the location falls under the jurisdiction of the Multi-National Joint Task Force, which is headquartered in Ndjamena, Chad Republic.”

However, a resident of Baga, Bukar Wakil, told The PUNCH on the phone, “We heard that the IED was planted with the intent of killing troops, but the unfortunate commercial vehicle drove over it before any military vehicle did, killing about 16 people and injuring about 20, mainly passers-by.”

A Maiduguri-based security expert, Abdullahi Abubakar, raised concern over the resurgence of sporadic attacks by ISWAP across the Lake Chad basin.

“You should look at the current resurgence of attacks from three angles,” he told The PUNCH.

He explained, “One, troops have claimed degrading Boko Haram to virtual non-existence; two, ISWAP, a rival of Boko Haram, have invaded the Chad basin, not only unleashing terror but attempting to crush Boko Haram in incessant battles for supremacy; and three, ISWAP wants to show the Nigerian military that they are very much around and are very much uncrushable.”

He remarked, “Until troops completely crush ISWAP, the terrorist group will never, in my view, allow Chad Basin to rest. “This explains the sporadic attacks, especially in Northern Borno.”

Let them continue bombing themselves.

Remind me of the name they shouted before the bomb go detonated.

That name always shouted alongside these evils.

If the name is truly God's name, then, this religion should be eradicated for putting his name to SHAME

Meanwhile, terrorists are technically defeated

There is something fundamentally wrong with this country.

Why must people who share completely different ideologies be forced to coexist in this geographical contraption called Nigeria.

The usual northern game of blackmail.
They are doing themselves.

This is fake news.

We are not ready to have this conversation yet because we are still enjoying ND oil money. If not for ND oil, this country would have been miserable.

Ok

Igile:

From the story, the bomb was planted to attack the Nigerian armies whom these terrorists see as their number 1 enemy.

Unfortunately, a commercial vehicle ran over it.

I wish it hit the target and leave innocent people.



Both terrorists deserve death



All of them.

Normal thing

Read the comments from Agbadorians above, when we were telling them that bokoharam bombings were to frustrated GEJ govt, they disagreed because they hated GEJ.

Now they are accepting it as a fact because it is happening to their drug lord Tilumbu

The north can bomb thier selves to oblivion, it's thier business
