An Improvised Explosive Device, IED,
suspected to have been planted by the
dreaded sect, Boko Haram has torn a
JTF vehicle apart killing six and injuring
two JTF personnel, eye witness who did
not want his name in the print told DailyPost in Maiduguri, the Borno state
capital. The explosion which occured at about 11:47am at the UBA bank roundabout, in the Post Office area came barely 24 hours after gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram members attacked three schools within the metropolis killing some teachers, including female teachers and
pupils. Eye witness who gave an account of the explosion told DailyPost correspondent that, he was about going into the Union Bank for a transaction when he heard the heavy explosion only to turn towards the direction of the explosion and saw that the soldiers’ Hilux vehicle, which was coming behind had been torn apart by the heavy explosion. ‘I couldn’t go into the bank again as I ran to go and meet my wife in the shop. I actually passed the military vehicle when I was going to the bank. They were four soldiers at the back, two in the passengers cabin, including the driver with another in-front. ‘it was horrendous as the bodies were
littered on the ground. people who were
close and at vintage position said only
two out of the eight in the vehicle
seemed to be alive.’ He described the situation in Maiduguri as very unfortunate, and called on the
Federal Government to do something
seriously about such happening even if
it means declaring a state of emergency
in the state, if such can bring peace to the state. His words ‘ I think from
what things are turning into in the state,
the point that some politicians are
making in the past may sound
reasonable for this situation. I mean the
Federal Government should declare a state of emergency in Borno so that we
would know that we are in a total military
zone.’ Another eye witness also told our
correspondent that, even though, he did
not see any civilian killed when the
soldiers arrived at the scene of the
incident, the gunfire they came with may have hit some of the civilians around. ‘As I am talking to you now, I am in one of the shops at Ramat Shopping Complex. You can hear the gunshots, the soldiers are already there and it is not good at all.’ he said. JTF spokesman, Lt Col. Sagir Musa
could not be reached as at the time of
this report, and the police is yet to
confirm the incident, as calls put across
to the commission of Police, Yuguda
Abdullahi could not be answered.

May their souls R.I.P.
