Boko Haram Bombed Madafuma Bridge Linking Maiduguri, Biu & Damboa, Villagers Trapped

Some suspected Boko Haram men over the weekend
bombed a bridge linking Maiduguri with Biu and
Damboa using Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
A large portion of the Madafuma Bridge was
damaged, thereby making it impossible to link
Maiduguri from Biu, Garkida, Numam and parts of
Taraba.
A resident, Mallam Musa Yakubu, said the incident
took place on Saturday at about 2am.
"We heard a loud bang and when we gathered in
Madafuma village we found out that the bridge
linking us with Biu Local Government Area and MA
Dara Girau had been blown off. Motorists heading for
Maiduguri from Biu especially long vehicles, had no
option than to turn back to Gombe. Small vehicles
managed to pass through the remaining thin portion
which has not been affected by the blast."
