Eight repentant Boko Haram fighters have been killed, after an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) exploded, in the North East of the Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.
The men were said to have sneaked out of Bama, to deal in scrap metals with some terrorists, in a market known as ‘Daula’ on the outskirts of Go-niri village, before the incident happened.
The former terrorists, who were among the 1,000 re-integrated into the community, and resettled at Government Girls Secondary School in Bama, received the scraps from some Boko Haram fighters, hiding in Sambisa forest, without knowing that, an IED, abandoned during a military offensive, was among the items, they were carrying.
