Four suspected Boko Haram members died today after the vehicles in
which they each rode in exploded as they headed towards a NNPC facility
on Maiduguri-Dambora road in Mule, an outskirt of Maiduguri, Borno
State. Apparently they each had their vehicles laced with bombs that
would detonate at the same time.
Spokesman for the Joint Information Centre for Counter Terrorism Campaign, Major General Chris
Olukolade said that three out of the four explosive-laden vehicles were
demobilized by shots fired at them by soldiers at the check point
shortly before the explosions.
Reports say five soldiers were killed when the bombs exploded and the
exact number of civilian casualties is yet to be ascertained.
