No fewer than four people were injured when a truck carrying bags of onions reportedly triggered an Improvised Explosive Device, IED, at Lingir Village, Guzamala Local Government Area, Borno State, on Wednesday.
The truck reportedly was en route from Baga Village, Kukawa
LGA, to Maiduguri.
The victims, identified as driver Umar Isah (25) and
passengers Suleiman Isa (22), Ibrahim Bala (25), and Umar Hassan (22), all
residents of Maiduguri, sustained varying degrees of injuries. The truck, with
registration number XA 504 GSH Yobe, was significantly damaged in the
explosion.
The incident reportedly took place at about 10:30 a.m.,
prompting a rapid response from troops of Operation HADIN KAI and other
security teams.
The area was cordoned off, photographed, and searched for
additional devices, though none were found.
The injured were initially taken to General Hospital Monguno
before being referred to the State Specialist Hospital, Maiduguri, where they
are receiving treatment.
The attack is suspected to have been carried out by ISWAP
terrorists.
