Bombings by Boko Haram kill at least 49 in Nigeria

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has given a December deadline for the army to end the Boko Haram insurgency but recent attacks by the group has given citizens cause to doubt the possibility of ending the carnage.

The suicide bomber aged twenty and “disguised as a refugee”, “slipped” among a group of refugees arriving in the city, “especially women and children”.

The Army spokesman, Colonel Sani Usman, said in a statement yesterday that the army is also a prime target of what he called “disinformation campaign” by the officers, whose identities were not disclosed.

Five girls have killed at least 12 people in Nigeria and Cameroon in suicide bombings over the weekend, officials have said.

Cameroon said on Monday that four teenage suicide bombers had killed themselves and a family of five when they were stopped by a self-defense militia in Fotokol town, near the border with Nigeria.

An imminent warning has been made by Dr. Ona Ekhomu, a security expert, concerning a terror attack that is about to happen in Nigeria.

“We intend to make some relief distribution in the coming days”.

Nigeria’s military is again vowing to pulverize Boko Haram before the year’s over, even as the terrorist bunch Sunday dispatched another fatal assault in the upper east of the nation, killing around eight individuals.

Already poor infrastructure in rural areas of Nigeria’s northeast has been destroyed by the violence, with services such as healthcare and education devastated and agriculture severely hit by the unrest.
