Four killed, 34 injured as Boko Haram insurgents infiltrate #EndBadGovernance protesters in Borno

Suspected Boko Haram elements on Thursday infiltrated #EndBadGovernance protesters along the Baga Road in Maiduguri and killed four persons.
At least 34 others sustained various degrees of injuries in the incident.
The state’s Commissioner of Police, Yusuf Lawal, disclosed this to journalists in Maiduguri.
He said the police swiftly deployed the Explosive Ordnance Device (EOD), Base 13, which probed the scene and rendered the area around a filling station safe.
Lawal said the injured persons and corpses were evacuated to Specialist Hospital in Maiduguri for treatment and autopsy.
The CP, who spoke on police declaration of 24 hours curfew in the state, said many minors, mostly almajiris, between the ages of 9 and 15, took over the Maiduguri-Kano Road to vandalise public property.
He noted that despite police persuasion, the crowd turned riotous, forcefully broke police barriers, pelted stones at officers, and advanced towards the city centre.
He added that the rioters later spilled over to other parts of Maiduguri Municipal and broke into the Borno state Mechanical Workshop along Baga Road.
“They looted vocational skills acquisition equipment, and vandalized five official vehicles belonging to BOTMA.”
According to him, 14 suspects had been arrested and are currently under investigation at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in the state capital.
