Eight Boko Haram’s suspects killed in Borno

A TIMELY intervention by the Joint Task Force (JTF) yesterday prevented suspected Boko Haram gunmen from unleashing large-scale violence on the Baga Market, Maiduguri, Borno State.

But the Boko Haram suspects, who attacked the market around 1.00 p.m., had shot at three traders before officials of the JTF rushed to the market and repelled them.

After fighting off the Boko Haram gunmen, the JTF defused three bombs that were allegedly planted by the group in the market.
