8reaking News: Boko Haram Bombs Bar And Brothel Joint Near Army Base In Adamawa State, 60 Killed

Terrorists belonging to the extreme Islamist
group, Boko Haram, today bombed a bar and brothel located near a major military base in Mubi, Adamawa State. Preliminary reports disclosed that at least sixty people died in the attack at the location popularly known as "Kaban".

Two security sources in the area said that a horrendous explosion rocked the bar and brothel which usually teems with civilian and military patrons. The explosion happened close to 6 pm. Nigerian time, both sources said. One of our sources said none of the casualties was a soldier, but
the other stated that it was too early to
determine whether any of the dead were
soldiers.

The bombed facility is a short distance away
from the headquarters of the Special
Operations Battalion (SOB) of the Nigerian
army in Mubi. The battalion is at the center of the Nigerian government's counter-offensive against Boko Haram's increasingly daring attacks on military and civilian targets.

Soldiers based in Mubi frequently join
civilians to eat, drink and dance at the
watering hole, our sources said, adding that
military commanders generally warned
soldiers not to stay at the joint past 4 p.m.

In recent weeks, Boko Haram has carried out deadly attacks in the northeast Nigerian states of Adamawa, Borno and tone, despite the Federal Government's declaration of a state if emergency in the three states.
