Boko Haram Kills Police Officer, 4 Others in Borno State

About five people on Tuesday have been reportedly killed by Boko Haram insurgents in Borno state.

Three loggers were killed in the first incident when their truck ran over a landmine outside Abbari village in the Konduga district of Borno state on Tuesday.

“The truck hit the landmine at about 4:30 pm (1530 GMT) and went up in flames, killed all three loggers on board,” said Ibrahim Liman, from the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF).

In a second incident on Tuesday, Boko Haram fighters killed two men, including a police officer, and injured six others in an ambush on a convoy near Dalwa West Village.
