A powerful explosion believed to be from a suicide car bomb
this morning rocked a military checkpoint along the Biu-Damaturu road, killing unspecified number of persons.
The explosion occurred at the time Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari was
delivering his nationwide Democracy Day speech. Though details of the blast is
still sketchy as at the time of going to press, an eyewitness account said
several persons were feared killed and many injured. The same checkpoint had
been hit by bomb blast in the past believed to be from the dreaded Boko Haram
sect.
