One person has been reportedly injured after suspected ISWAP terrorists detonated an improvised explosive device (IED) at the entrance of Wulgo town in Ngala LGA of Borno state.
Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on
the Lake Chad region, said the first explosion occurred at about 9:30 am on
Monday.
Makama noted that the incident happened when one Sani Audu
of Hausari ward, in Gamboru-Ngala, stepped on an IED while on his way to Wulgo.
Citing sources, the publication said that the victim
sustained minor injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital, while troops
visited the scene to conduct a thorough search for secondary explosive devices,
and declared the zone safe for public use.
Makama noted that at about 1:14 pm, another IED explosion
occurred, destroying the Abari bridge along Wulgo road, connecting Gamboru and
Wulgo town.
The publication said the attack is believed to be part of a
deliberate campaign by insurgents to disrupt civilian movement and hamper
military operations in the area.
Makama added that there were no additional explosive devices
found, as security presence has been restored to monitor the area.
