Boko Haram bombs bridge linking Borno and Adamawa

Despite the presence of foreign security experts in the country, report says suspected Boko Haram foot soldiers, on Saturday blew up another bridge that links Borno and Adamawa States, a military source told SaharaReporters.

This is coming few days after the terror group also bombed a border bridge that links Nigeria to Cameroon in Borno State.

According to the report, the extremists also attacked residents of Limankara community in Gwoza local government area of Borno State, burning more than 300 houses.

A source in the town said the residence of the district head of Limankara was one of the homes burnt down by the rampaging insurgents. The district head is the father of the Borno State Commissioner of Trade and Commerce.

One resident, Titus Musa, said the insurgents took away his car. He added that they also hauled away “over three thousands bags of foodstuff and 10 vehicles.” Another source in the community said the Boko Haram members torched a church belonging to the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN).

“We are helpless. We don’t deserve this. Let the government do something fast about these demons before they finish [off] our generations.”
