Two Education Officials Killed In Bomb Explosion On Damboa–Maiduguri Road

Two staff of the Damboa Local Education Authority (LEA) were killed on Monday in a bomb blast along the Damboa–Maiduguri highway.

Sources told Zagazola Makama that the victims, identified as Blessings Luka and Gideon Bitterleaf, were travelling from Damboa to Maiduguri when the incident occurred.

According to eyewitnesses, the deceased were seated in front of a Toyota Hiace van transporting mangoes when the vehicle struck an improvised explosive device suspected to have been planted by insurgents.

The explosion claimed both lives instantly, leaving a few others with injuries.

A source within the Damboa Local Government confirmed the identities of the victims, describing them as committed and hard working education officials.

Security operatives have since cordoned off the area, while investigations are ongoing to identify those responsible for the attack.
