Borno terror: 32 killled 84 injured as BH sects strike

A massive explosion left 32 persons dead and 84 others injured in Abbachari, Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State at the weekend as the orgy of violence in the North-east showed resilience in spite of desperate military efforts to restore peace in the region.

There were conflicting reports about the cause of the explosion. While the police command in the state suggested a terrorist action, but still investigating, some residents suspected it might have resulted from military artillery strike.

The military, however, denied causing the incident, hanging it on six suicide bombers, who it said detonated the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) that sent the victims to their early graves. 

According to a witness, Malam Buba Shettima, however, said two separate bomb blasts occurred in Shuwari and Abbachari, at about 8:30p.m
