No fewer than four people were killed today when a female suicide bomber blew up herself at a military checkpoint in a community in Borno State, a security source who is a leader of the civilian joint task force has said.
The source revealed that the bomber alighted from a vehicle at a military checkpoint in the Sabon Gari area of Damboa, a town in Borno State, and then detonated her bomb, killing herself as well as four other people. Many people sustained various degrees of injury.
According to the source, two of the dead were members of the civilian joint task force that helps to provide security in the terror-plagued northeast zone of Nigeria. Boko Haram fighters seem to be regaining momentum, launching suicide and gun attacks against civilian and military targets on an almost daily basis, despite the relocation of military command to Maiduguri as ordered by president Muammadu Buhari.
