A bomb explosion in Kawuri, a town in the Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State, has claimed the life of Abba Godori, the vice chairman of the Kawuri unit of the Civilian Joint Taskforce (CJTF).
The explosion occurred on Tuesday, reportedly killing Godori while he was on patrol in the area.
An eyewitness, speaking anonymously, revealed that the bomb was believed to have been planted by terrorists the previous day.
“Mr. Godori was on patrol when he stepped on the bomb. He was following the footsteps of the terrorists until he stepped on the bomb,” the source stated.
When contacted, the spokesperson for the Borno State Police Command, ASP Nahum Daso, said he had yet to receive official details about the incident.
“Personally, I am yet to get any information on that. Before nightfall, I would have ascertained what happened there,” he said.
