A roadside bombing orchestrated by Boko Haram has claimed 35 lives in Adamawa State, according to reports.
The explosion reportedly went off in the Mararaba-Mubi area of the state on Thursday, November 27, killing the victims instantly.
According
to a witness, a team of hunters and soldiers were patrolling the area
when the bomb allegedly planted by the terrorists exploded.
“My
house is some metres from the scene of the incident. I stood outside my
compound watching the suburb and all of a sudden, I heard a loud bang
which shook the entire surroundings. The few people who were returning
to the area started running away and the area was immediately cordoned
off by the military,” the witness said.
The Nigerian army is said to still be investigating the incident and no official casualty figure has been released.
Mubi
town was previously captured by Boko Haram but a coalition of local
hunters and soldiers recovered the town from the insurgents.
