Boko Haram Latest Attack At Beer Parlour In Mubi, Adamawa Killed 60

Boko Haram terrorists on Sunday 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.
Two security sources in the area told
SaharaReporters 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.
