There has been at
least one explosion in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital by suspected Boko
Haram suicide bomber, according to Daily Sun
The attack reportedly
occurred at the Muna garage in Maiduguri which was just recently attacked by
the insurgents.
According to a
Facebook user Medan Oukoh, who also posted a video of what was left of the
bomber, the attack occurred at around 2.15am, on Wednesday.
The attack comes just
a day after the Abubakar Shekau-led faction of the Islamist insurgent group
released a video showing the gruesome and cold-blooded murder of three men it
claimed were government spies that infiltrated it.
In the 7-minute video,
the insurgents also displayed large cache of high-grade military weapons
including what appeared to be anti-aircraft missiles and boasted that it
remains firmly in a place in the country that the Nigerian Army could not
recapture.
But the Nigerian Army
has been securing victories over the group as it continued clearance of the
terrorist group’s former hideouts in different places in Borno State.
Just on Tuesday, March
14, the Army announced the take over of a logistics base in Shirawa in Kala
Balge Local Government Area of the state. The Army rescued 455 hostages and
overpowered insurgent fighters in the process.
