Seven suspected Boko Haram terrorists were on Monday
killed when an Improvised Explosives Device hidden in a
Toyota pick-up van exploded before it could get to Biu
Market, suspected to be its destination.
A security source, who spoke on condition of anonymity
with PUNCH on the telephone on Tuesday, said:
“A Toyota pick-up van, loaded with maize and beans
with IED hidden under them, belonging to Boko
Haram insurgents, exploded near Chikwarkir village of
Biu, killing
all the occupants of the van.”
He said it was believed that the insurgents intended to
sneak into Biu Market to detonate the explosives and kill
many traders and customers.
“As you know, it is harvest time and people are taking
their farm produce to the market; but thank God, the
bomb exploded before they could get to the market,”
the source said.
He added that the insurgents must have specifically chosen
Monday, as they were aware that Monday and Thursday
were the market days in Biu, the headquarters of Biu Local
Government. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
