Landmines Kill Eight In Borno Community

Eight persons have been reportedly killed by landmines in Gwoza local
government area of Borno State. Sources say the victims drove over the
land mines around Warabe village barely fifteen kilometers away from
Gwoza local government headquarters at about 10am yesterday March 18th.

The vehicle, part of a civilian convoy under military escort, veered
off the road in an attempt to overtake another vehicle when it hit the
device suspected to have been planted by Boko Haram members.

“The vehicle exploded and all the eight people inside were killed.
Seven more people from the other vehicle were injured from the
explosion.” a military source said
