Members of the Boko Haram Islamic sect on Sunday bombed a bar and a brothel located near a major military base in Mubi, Adamawa State and killed over 60 people. The explosion rocked the popularly bar located at Kaban, a few kilometres to the headquarters of the Special Operations Battalion (SOB) of the Nigerian army in Mubi.
It was gathered that the SOB was at the centre of the Nigerian government’s counter-offensive against Boko Haram’s increasingly daring attacks on military and civilian targets. The blast occurred around 6pm at the brothel where both military and civilians used to unwind. The agency reported that one of its sources said none of the casualties was a soldier, but another source said that it was too early to determine whether soldiers were among the casualties or not.
