Four Civilians, Five Suicide Bombers killed In Borno
No fewer than four persons, including member of Civilian JTF, three male and two female suicide bombers were killed in simultaneous attacks in Muna Garrage and Kaleri wards of Maiduguri metropolis, Borno State.
The separate blasts which took place about 10:20 p.m., and 10:45p.m., caused fears in the state, especially now that the military had claimed that it has decimated Boko Haram terrorists, after capturing Sambisa Forest, which was declared stronghold of insurgents.
These attacks came barely 12 hours after some terrorists attacked a military base in Buni Yadi general area of Yobe State, which led to the killing of five soldiers, including a Captain.
Meanwhile, the Army, yesterday, said it has released 1,250 Boko Haram suspects who have been cleared of no links with insurgency.
Brig.-Gen. Victor Ezugwu, General Officer Commanding, GOC, 7 Division of the army, disclosed this when the Head of Sub Delegation of ICRC, Mr Beat Mosimann, visited him at the Maimalari cantonment in Maiduguri, Borno State. Ezugwu said the cleared suspects were released in about seven batches after being cleared of having no link with Boko Haram.
