At least 29 persons were reportedly killed in attacks by Boko Haram insurgents on three local government areas of Borno State on Saturday.
Twelve persons have been confirmed dead in two separate road accidents on the Ogidi-Abatete Road, Anambra State and on Lambata-Suleja Road, Niger State.
Credible sources told one of our correspondents that the insurgents invaded Usmanti around 11 am on Saturday. All attempts to confirm the report were futile as the spokesman for the Nigerian Army, Col. Sagir Musa, did not return a text message sent to his mobile line.The crash involved a tipper loaded with sand and a bus, with 19 persons on board.
He said, “No fewer than seven persons died on the spot while other passengers sustained injuries. Most of them were members of the same family going for a burial ceremony.” He said, “About 5.20pm on Friday 12 June, 2020, we received a distress call on a fatal auto crash, which occurred near Buckie Polytechnic, along Ogidi-Abatete Road.
