According to a breaking news report
by Sahara Reporters, Boko
Haram men today June 1st bombed a bar and brothel located near a major military
base in Mubi, Adamawa State, killing 60 people.
Two security sources in the area
told SaharaReporters that a horrendous explosion rocked the bar and brothel
which usually teems with civilian and military patrons. The explosion happened
close to 6 pm. Nigerian time, both sources said. One of our sources said none
of the casualties was a soldier, but the other stated that it was too early to
determine whether any of the dead were soldiers.
The bombed facility is a short distance away from the
headquarters of the Special Operations Battalion (SOB) of the Nigerian army in
Mubi. The battalion is at the center of the Nigerian government's
counter-offensive against Boko Haram's increasingly daring attacks on military
and civilian targets.Soldiers based in Mubi frequently join civilians to eat,
drink and dance at the watering hole, our sources said, adding that military commanders
generally warned soldiers not to stay at the joint past 4 p.m
