It was also gathered that 23 persons who were injured in the attacks had been taken to the hospital.
These attacks follow a pattern of similar attacks deployed against soft targets and other strategic points by Boko Haram in what has been described as an adjusted insurgency strategy by the group owing to the military’s enormous gains in conventional engagement.

This is how Boko Haram will ruin Nigeria but to the loss of the northerners because they are only damaging their lives and properties that would have been of help to them when Biafra pulls out.

I can’t count how many times the federal government of Nigeria said Boko Haram is no more in Nigeria, yet, the islamic sect keeps killing people and bombing places. God will soon deliver Biafra from Nigeria and we’ll part ways

I was expecting to see Joseph as part of your name, but, I didn’t. Since you’re not a dreamer, I’d just calmly advise you to wake up from your slumber. There’s never going to be any country Biafra.

That one day is not happening soon. We have to keep fighting them until the bow and stop attacking Nigeria. If we wait for soon, everyone in Nigeria may be forced to agree to their terms and it will be too late by then.
