Terrorists blasts Yobe Bridge in fresh attack
Suspected members of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) have destroyed a bridge connecting Ngurbuwa to Gonori township in Gujba Local Government Area, Yobe State.
According to intelligence sources, the attack took place around 10:30 pm on Thursday, with the perpetrators employing an explosive device to demolish the remaining section of the bridge..
This act of terrorism, according to credible information, has disrupted movement between the two communities.
Report says an official of local vigilante in Gujba town who also spoke under the condition of anonymity that the bridge came under attack shortly after the gunmen entered Goniri Village.
A village head who also craved anonymity for security reason confirmed the bombing of the oldest bridge linking Ngurbuwa-Goniri in Gujba LGA.
He lamented that the residents were suffering while attempting to cross to their community due to the destruction of the bridge by terrorists.
Some of the residents of Ngurbuwa have called on the state government to intervene by deploying additional security personnel to guide the remaining the bridges in the areas.
A resident of Ngurbuwa, Mallam Aliyu urged President Bola Tinubu to urgently deploy adequate security personnel to Gujba local government to curb prevailing security challenges in the area.
He said deploying more security operatives to the state would curb the activities of the terrorists suspected to be Boko Haram members.
Aliyu expressed concern that the residents of the state, particularly those in Gujba, Buni Yadi, Goniri and Katarko can no longer sleep with their two eyes closed at night.
He further lamented that the farmers and other lawful business people have been forced to abandon their businesses during the day as a result of the nefarious activities of the suspected Boko Haram terrorists.
