A sad incidence recently took place in a bridge located in Borno, the capital of Meduguri of Nigeria. Borno has been the base of Boko Haram hideout for long time now. The people who live in this part of Nigeria are gradually getting tired of life as they do not know the next action to be taken by these agents of destruction known as the Boko Haram.

 

At about 2 am Nigerian time on Sunday morning, a loud sound was heard at popular Madafuma Bridge, which links Biu-Damboa- Maiduguri federal road in Borno State. This action was carried out by gunmen suspected to be the Boko Haram.

 

As a result of this ugly incidence, many who intended to travel from Borno to other parts of Nigeria had their movement delayed as the bridge was left with just a thin portion. Many who did not want to take the risk of passing through the remaining thin portion have their vehicles diverted.

 

In addition to fight against the Boko Haram, students of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Sunday caught a man with some explosive materials around one of the hostels. The man is said to behave like a madman.  In accordance with that, he had been handed over to the policemen to investigate on the state of the man. The items that were found with the man include a stove, old newspapers copies, and some liquid mixture suspected to be kerosene, and petrol.
