Some gunmen suspected to be members of dreaded Boko Haram sect over
the week end planted Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs under the popular
Madafuma bridge linking 185km Biu- Damboa-Maiduguri federal road where
it exploded and damaged some remarkable portion of the bridge leaving
motorists and passengers stranded.
The road which has remained a death trap for the past two years with
terrorists ambushing motorists and passengers living hundreds dead with the
kidnapping of innocent civilians have to be abandoned as most people of Biu,
Garkida, Numan, Shani, Taraba resorted to follow through Gombe state
which now took them up to 12 hours instead of normal 3 or 5 hours Journey
to Maiduguri, the Borno state capital.
In less than 10 days ago, there was a massive ambush on the road where the
terrorists sacked the 195 Battalion if the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army,
after killing the Commanding Officer along side a Divisional Police Officer
and over 15 soldiers and 6 policemen.
The bombing of the bridge according to Mallam Musa Yakubu took place on
Saturday at about 2am when people were asleep.
He said “we heard a loud bang on Saturday and on Sunday morning when we
gathered in Madafuma village to go round our surroundings early in the
morning, we found out that the bridge linking us with Biu local Government
Area and MA Dara Girau has been blown off, all motorists heading to
Maiduguri from Biu especially long vehicles had no option than to make u-
turn back to Gombe, unfortunately, small vehicles had to manage the
remaining thin portion which has not been affected in the blast, but it is
very risky”. Yakubu stated.
A trucks loaded with Tubers of yam from Taraba and Benue states
according to residents of Biu had to return back to Biu on Sunday and took
another road through Gombe- Potiskum- Damaturu- Maiduguri road which
they described as a long and hectic journey.

i hope so bro.

There is no government in this nation

Yet the Northern delegates to the confab wants us to give extra money to Boko haram states, so they blow up more bridges while we pick up the repair cost.

Is that all?

They can destroy as much as they want as long as they pay the cost of repairs.

If they're made to pay the cost, am sure their would be a rethink on the part of Boko haram.
