Boko Haram worsens Maiduguri blackout, blows up more power facilities
|
[PUNCHNG] AFTER destroying several electric masts thereby cutting off Maiduguri metropolis from enjoying electricity for about nine months, four other electric masts supplying power along Damaturu-Maiduguri Road in Borno State were blown off again by suspected members of Boko Haram
 ...Nigeerian Islamist group, formerly paying homage to al-Qaeda, then, when the money ran out, to the Islamic State, and headed by nutcase Abu Bakr Shekau. Once he exploded in a gunfight with ISWAP, many in the group surrendered to the govt and others went with their new overlords. The remainder are a shell of their former selves, stmbling glassy-eyed and lonely through the Sambisa Forest and the soothing waters of Lake Chad, asking themselves What is truth? , or maybe just I wonder what's for dinner? I hope it's not rhinocerous again! ...
/ISWAP on Friday night.This latest setback came barely one month after the NNPC commenced building of gas plant to provide electricity to the troubled state in the North-East sub-region.
The electric towers were destroyed at Garin Kuturu village, a village about two kilometres from Auno, an area constantly being terrorised by the krazed killers.
According to reports, the attack on the facilities started in the evening around 7 pm and lasted up to 10 pm after which four of the towers were completely grounded while the gift tower was hanging loosely.
Reacting to the incident, some residents of the state capital, who spoke to The PUNCH, expressed their frustration at the latest destruction, stating that the state had suffered enough hardship as a result of the insurgency.
