Fifteen persons have been killed by landmines left by suspected terrorists in Nussa village of Askira Uba in northeast Nigeria’s Borno State.
It is not clear if they were civilians or military personnel.
Another three identified as Civilian Joint Task Force members were also killed in neighbouring Chul village in the same local government.
Sources say both incidents happened on Monday night.
Emerging reports also indicate that Boko Haram terrorists over the weekend set ablaze two trucks conveying relief items to returning internally displaced persons in Gamboru Ngala.
The trucks belonging to the International Red Cross were abandoned around Logumane Musini axis, barely 15 kilometers to Gamboru after offloading their contents following a breakdown.
Desperate insurgents hoping to loot items abandoned reportedly set the empty trucks on fire and retreated to their hideouts, sources say

EFFORTS TO COMPROMISE CORPERS WILL FAIL. WE WILL HAVE A FREE AND FAIR ELECTION BY FIRE BY FORCE
Why is the APC camping Youth Corpers at Opobo crescent? Why is the APC taking the account details of Youth Corpers? Why is the APC bent on truncating our democracy???
I’m not even bothered that they are the first beneficiaries of the 100k largesse. The problem is why should Corpers be compelled to submit original result sheets for fake result sheets?
Somebody should call Amaechi to order. He is putting the lives of Corpers at risk. Nobody will circumvent the will of our people. Everyone must take a photograph of all Corpers involved in the election at every polling unit. Let us know the faces of those who say they their calling is to enslave Rivers people.
Corpers are invited to participate in the election and do the right things. They must resist the pressure to circumvent the electoral process. It is okay to eat the money. But do the right thing.
