Suspected members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) have destroyed a bridge linking Ngirbuwa to Gonori in Gujba LGA of Yobe.

Intelligence sources told Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on the Lake Chad region, that the attack happened around 10:30 pm on Thursday.

The insurgents were said to have used an improvised explosive device (IED) to bring down the remaining part of the bridge.

“This act of terrorism has disrupted movement between the two communities,” Makama quoted one of the sources as saying.

An official of a local vigilante group in Gujba town also confirmed the attack under the condition of anonymity.

He said the bridge came under attack shortly after the gunmen entered Goniri village.

A village head, who also asked not to be named according to the publication, confirmed that the bridge linking Ngurbuwa and Goniri — said to be the oldest in Gujba — was bombed.

He said residents are suffering while attempting to cross to their communities due to the destruction.

Some residents of Ngurbuwa have appealed to the Yobe state government to deploy additional security personnel to protect the remaining bridges in the area.

On Tuesday, ISWAP fighters detonated an improvised explosive device (IED) on Mandafuma bridge, along Biu-Damboa road in Borno state.

The explosion was aimed at hindering military reinforcements travelling through the area and disrupting the movement of motorists and passengers along the route.

The life of a typical northerner is worth nothing. That's why they are never alarmed. Just criticise one popular Emir from that region and you will see all of them issuing ultimatums.

I don't blame you people I only blame the yorubas for licking ur butt's. Una supposed get una own country or they far from where civil people and development's dey.

The same tactics the north and the west used in chasing GEJ from office. If you support bad things it will surely get to you. What goes around comes around.

The speed at which Nigeria will collapse and be taken over by these miscreants can only be imagined ,are these children pushing us back to the time we had Coporal Nwafor , Oguta boy and ogbunigwei

Nigeria is not made to succeed or survive as one country

NSA: insecurity under Tinubu has reduced by 90%

By the time the Chicago drug dealer returns the entire north will be like Somalia.

Please don't forget to check my signature for Freestuffs such as places where you can get materials for building bridges in your community.

It's amazing that the north brought in the terrorists for political reasons, the terrorists are uncontrollable, they destroy hard earned critical infrastructure, not to talk of indiscriminate killings coupled with the attendant losses to economic and tourism development, and they DON'T SEE THEMSELVES AS THEIR OWN WORST ENEMY.

Let them continue with their Rehabilitation/Deradicalisation Programme as usual. The programme success rate is extremely low.

This is becoming

The program is incredibly idiotic...!

No sane nation handles terrorism with kid gloves like Nigeria has been doing for almost 2 decades now.


The only repentant terrorist is a dead one.

If you think the Nigerian military can dislodge these Islamic terrorists, then you thought wrong. Or that BAT and his bunch of clowns have any reasonable solutions to the glaring insecurity in the country, then wrong wronger wrongest...

Sounds like war

At this point all levels of government are complicit or a higher power is suppressing/oppressing others because this thing is now too much. How can you be in your country and some elements are terrorizing your place and be wreaking havoc and you just keep mute and be watching?

Or is the media used to spread fear and misinformation with these reported attacks? How are Local Government Chairman and Councilors not mad with rage now? What about traditional rulers and Elders? What about Governors, House of Assembly, Commissioners, House of Reps, Senators, Army etc from these places that are being attacked, what are they all doing?
