The attack struck a crowded market on the Nigerian-Cameroonian frontier. Militant groups have long targeted military and civilian sites in the market town and its surrounding areas.

As many as 30 people have been killed after a bomb ripped through a crowded market on a bridge connecting the Nigerian town of Gamboru and Cameroon’s Fotokol.

Authorities said more than 35 other people, including both Nigerians and Cameroonians, were injured and taken to the local hospital in the wake of the attack on Monday.

“A young man picked up an explosive device thinking that it was a piece of iron and it exploded, killing him and eight others,” said Midjiyawa Bakari, the governor of the Cameroon’s Far North Region.

Militant attacks

Militant groups operating in the area have targeted Gamboru on multiple occasions since 2014. That year, Boko Haram seized Gamboru and the nearby town of Ngala.

After a monthslong siege, Nigerian troops managed to regain control of Gamboru with assistance from Chadian forces. But the militant group still launches attacks on military and civilian targets in the area.

Boko Haram’s decadelong insurgency aimed at establishing a so-called caliphate has killed more than 35,000 people and displaced more than 2 million in the region.

An “Islamic State” regional ally that broke off from Boko Haram also stages attacks in the region.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

how dare Trump !

The difference between Trump and Buhari is clear. Trump puts terrorists six feet below the ground, Buhari releases them in the name of rehabilitation and repented terrorists. Imaging sitting in a vehicle with an unknown "repented terrorist"

This is a bad news , may the souls of departed rip.

If Trump were the president of Nigeria, eh?

Hmmmm...it is well

These shege people

I love your response.

IgbosAreFools:
Head slammer are your problem 2020 but all Igbo governors from 1960 till date have been colossal failure with Igbos running from their improvised Biafra to the head slammer state you love to insult to sustain your bigoted hate drenched souls. What a shameless baboon u lot are.

SimDan95:
For a country that can't secure her border allowing terrorist to slip in easily like slipping a wet precum coated d|ck into a slimy cum filled cu*nt, I ain't surprised.


while we show our displeasure behind our phones and computers, people are dying in the North. Well that's the change BMC'S bargained for who an I to complain, they might even attack this harmless comment.


BTW it's been confirmed that HEAD SLAMMERS are the world's problems. Right from Iraq to Afghanistan down to Pakistan to our own Nigeria. Deny it all u want u just got to kiss the bitter truth.


All those bellittling Trump should cower in shame and abject dismissal, whereby your own country can't do away with terrorist killing your fellow head slammers and innocent Christians up north in the name of jihad.


May u all rot in tatarus and embrace the bossom of Hades.
