In a tragic incident, two individuals lost their lives following an explosion in Dalwa, a community in Borno State.
The explosion, caused by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), occurred around 1 PM on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, at a 200-unit housing estate under construction.
The blast coincided with the commissioning of housing estates in Maiduguri by Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum and Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni.
Dalwa, located approximately 175 kilometers from Maiduguri, has been one of the many communities devastated by Boko Haram insurgents.
Sources revealed that a similar explosion occurred on Tuesday, December 10, though details remain unclear.
The recurring incidents highlight the persistent security challenges in the region, which has battled insurgency for over a decade.
As investigations continue, residents of Dalwa have expressed fear and urged authorities to intensify security measures to prevent further loss of life.
The tragic event underscores the ongoing threat of insecurity in Borno State and the need for continued vigilance and support for affected communities.
