Boko Haram suicide bombers attack military barrack in Borno


Suspected Boko Haram members attacked a market inside 33 Army Artillery barracks on the outskirts of Maiduguri, capital of Borno state last night. The suicide bombers sneaked into the barracks in a tricycle at about 9.30pm and detonated their explosives at a relaxation spot.

The suicide bombers sneaked in and struck within the crowd.” a military source said
The dead victims and those that were injured in the attack were rushed to the Zannah, a member of the Civilian joint task force (CJTF), a local vigilance group, told TheCable that many people were killed while those who sustained injuries were evacuated to the Maiduguri Specialist Hospital.
This attack comes four days after amultipole suicide attacks claimed the lives of 31 persons in Damboa.
