2 soldiers, 4 civilians killed in Borno explosions

At least four persons were killed in a suicide attack in Pulka, Gwoza local government area of Borno state on Monday.
Two soldiers were also killed when their vehicle stepped on a roadside bomb in a separate incident.
The first attack was carried out by two teenage girls wearing suicide vests.
The spokesperson of the Military Command and Control Centre in Maiduguri, the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, Col. Onyema Nwachukwu, confirmed the incident to Premium Times.
He said the attack occurred on Monday evening when two strange girls were spotted trying to infiltrate a crowded location of the rocky community.
“Our vigilant troops were able to gun down one of them before she could make her way into the crowd. And in the process the explosive on her body went off killing only her,” he said.
Nwachukwu said the second girl managed to infiltrate the crowded residential area and detonated the bomb.
“Two civilians were killed alongside the girl that wore the suicide vest.”
He said the four bodies had been evacuated from the scene of the blasts by rescue workers, while the injured had been taken to a nearby medical facility for treatment.
