Boko Haram terrorists detonated Improvised Explosive Device, IED, in Maiduguri on Tuesday killing at least 7 persons, DailyPost has learnt.
The attack was said to have been targeted at security operatives in the area.
According to the report, residents of Molai and Damboa road are fleeing their homes owing to the development.
A resident of Molai, Manu Ndirmbula, told DailyPost in Maiduguri that “We were only told that seven people were killed in the blast, we don’t know whether they are security operatives or civilians.
“So, we are relocating our families. I am tired of living under fear. I don’t know what government is doing with these terrorists, who are killing innocent souls for no just cause.
“During Abacha era, nobody can do this nonsense, even during Obasanjo, we still can recall the Odi case. Theses bad elements, Boko Haram members are living in Sambisa, I don’t know why government is still handling this crises with soft glooves.
“From Konduga to Yankari government should comb the area and approach it with serious military action, not even a bird should be left to fly. If that happens, nobody would hear any sound of bomb blast again”.
Speaking on the allegation by both the Borno and the Yobe elders that food and arms were being dropped for the insurgents by helicopter, Malam Manu said the elders could do more good service to the country if they could come out and reveal those behind the helicopter.
“Most of the elders served this country in different capacities and are well placed in the society. They have links with so many people, unless they are ganging up against the President, to stop his reelection, because we were told that some powerful people promised him hell when he came to power, perhaps it is the hell that we are living in now, but why the masses?”, Manu queried.
DailyPost correspondent, who was also at the 7 Division, Nigerian Army in Maiduguri to speak with the spokeman, Col. Muhammadu Dole, could not be allowed into the premises.
A soldier at the entrance simply told our reporter, “Oga journalist, we dey busy. Oga no dey here, call his number”.
