An Improvised Explosive Device ( IED ) planted by suspected Boko Haram terrorists has killed a senior accounting officer, education department of Damboa local government area of Borno State, Shettima Mustapha and injured others when the vehicle they were travelling on rammed into the explosive device.
Sources said the incident took place on Tuesday afternoon when military and other security operatives were escorting hundreds of motorists and passengers from Damboa to Maiduguri.

The IED explosion is occurring barely one month after multiple female suicide bombers killed 42 and injured 100 others in Gwoza local government area of the state.

The road which links Maiduguri-Damboa-Biu has remained a death trap following several attacks and killings by the terrorists before the Nigerian military reopened the road, allowing only the people of Damboa and some parts of Chibok to have access to Maiduguri, while Biu people had to ply the Biu- Buni Yadi -Damaturu -Maiduguri road covering about 300kms to reach Maiduguri, the state capital.

Confirming the incident, a close associate of the late accountant who spoke under anonymity said, “I am deeply saddened to inform you of the passing of our beloved accountant, Shettima Mustapha, in a tragic bomb blast on his way from Damboa to Maiduguri today.

“Our hearts are heavy with grief at this loss, and we extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. May his soul rest in peace.”
