An explosive device suspected to have been planted by Boko Haram members has killed two people and injured three others along Damaturu-biu road, Yobe state.

According to Daily Trust, the incident happened about 4:45pm on Sunday, August 20, close to Azare village.

A local vigilante who gave his name as Modu said the victims were cattle traders travelling to Gombe state from Buni Yadi town where they attend a weekly Sunday market.

He said the traders ran into the Boko Haram members who opened fire on them.

His words:“In an effort to escape, five of them stepped on the planted explosive device that went off, killing the two and injuring the three others. Some of the traders are still missing.

“No such incident has happened in the whole Gujba and Gulani axis for at least one year.”

An unidentified soldier also quoted in the report said security men on a road patrol had conveyed the victims to Damaturu Specialist Hospital.

At the hospital, a staff who also spoke on condition of anonymity said two people had been confirmed dead.
