Bomb Explodes In Borno Ahead Of Protests, 19 Residents Feared Dead by SmartPolician: 7:57am On Aug 01
No fewer than 19 persons have been reportedly killed after an Improvised Explosive Device, IED, exploded at a local joint in the Kawuri community, Konduga Local government area of Borno State.

DAILY POST learnt that the incident, which occurred on Wednesday, also injured an unspecified number of residents.

The explosive device was suspected to have been planted by Boko Haram insurgents causing chaos in the North-East.

It could be recalled that similar incidents have been happening in the last few days, with several persons, including seven Nigerian soldiers killed.

A government official, who confirmed the latest incident to Daily Trust, said the bomb went off around 8:05 pm at a local tea joint where the villagers gathered for a night chat, adding that dozens of people also got injured.

“Nobody can say exactly how it happened, but we suspected that the bomb was planted, not a suicide attack.

“We saw corpses of 19 people with an unspecified number of civilians injured. The injured were evacuated to an undisclosed hospital in Maiduguri for treatment,” the source said on condition of anonymity.

DAILY POST reports that the development came hours before the scheduled nationwide protests over hunger in Nigeria.

Nigerian youths have concluded plans to stage mass protests across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, beginning from today, Thursday.

Na wa o.

This is the kind of chaos that follows when people decide to protest without a clear plan. Instead of addressing the real issues, they just scatter everywhere like headless chickens.

In Nigeria, protests are just a platform for people to display their frustration without any real change. The blood of innocent people is on the hands of those who incite these protests.

We have seen it before; the politicians are busy playing their games while the common man suffers the consequences. The people in Borno are paying the price for what? For a protest that won't change anything?

If the leaders truly cared, they would focus on protecting lives instead of letting people march around without understanding the risks involved. This is just a cycle of violence that leads nowhere.

This corn3 has become too divided and prone to insecurity to continue as one country.

Make every ethnic Nationality dey on their own. It's only in Nigeria and Africa you have different ethnic Nationalities forcefully existing as a country.

Really Saddening.

They were intelligence reports that this will happen in either Konduga, Bama or Gwoza.

May God continually keep us all safe working in deep communities here in Borno State.

Government is only interested in flooding the oil producing areas with army and police. Boko Haram can take over the North, and advance southwards to conquer Nigeria for an Islamic Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬 to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system. That's the official policy of Nigeria's government right from Buhari in 2015.
