Suicide Bombers Kill Air Force Officer In Maiduguri by Nobody: 12:36pm On Aug 31, 2015
Suicide bombers kill Air Force officer in Maiduguri Two suicide bombers killed an Air Force officer at a checkpoint in a Tuesday late-night attack on Maiduguri, Borno State, witnesses and police said on Wednesday. They blamed the attack on Boko Haram Islamic extremists responsible for a slew of such attacks that have killed hundreds this year in Nigeria and neighboring Cameroon, Chad and Niger. Tuesday night’s explosion occurred hours after Nigeria’s military ordered officers to report for duty to a new multinational army based in N’Djamena, Chad’s capital, to launch a long-delayed offensive against Nigeria’s home-grown insurgents. Police Commissioner Aderemi Opadokun said a lieutenant died and a woman was injured when two suicide bombers approached a checkpoint and one exploded. Both bombers died, he said. The explosion occurred at a traffic circle leading to Maiduguri’s international airport, which was closed for months after a December 2014 Boko Haram attack in which several Air Force aircraft were destroyed. Travelers were forced to use roads made dangerous by frequent insurgent attacks until the airport was reopened in July, after troops from Chad and Nigeria drove the extremists out of some 25 towns held for months in what they had declared an Islamic caliphate. The insurgents have returned to hit-and-run tactics and suicide bombings. focused on building a better, more equitable nation and society. “I for one shall never allow myself to be a tool of a political enemy that has nothing good in mind for Nigeria. I for one will never engage in the intramural character attacks of which I am being accused. I stand for the unity of the APC and for the progressive purpose we serve. I will not be guilty of tearing down our progressive house, not a brick of it. That I vow to all.”
