The Islamist extremist group, Boko Haram has
struck again bombing a bar and brothel located near a military base in
Mubi, Adamawa state on Sunday evening, June 1, 2014.
The bomb went off at about 6pm according to
eyewitnesses. The building the incident occurred is said to be very
close to the headquarters of the Special Operations Battalion (SOB) of
the Nigerian army in Mubi.
Sahara Reporters reports:
The battalion is at
the center of the Nigerian government’s counter-offensive against Boko
Haram’s increasingly daring attacks on military and civilian targets.
Soldiers based in
Mubi frequently join civilians to eat, drink and dance at the watering
hole, our sources said, adding that military commanders generally warned
soldiers not to stay at the joint past 4 p.m.
In recent weeks, Boko
Haram has carried out deadly attacks in the northeast Nigerian states
of Adamawa, Borno and tone, despite the Federal Government’s declaration
of a state if emergency in the three states.
