Suspected members of the Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP), have bombed another major bridge, this time in Gujiba Local Government Area of Yobe State.
While quoting intelligence sources, counter-insurgency expert, Mr. Zagazola Makama, reports that the insurgents detonated the explosive device around 10:30pm on Thursday, targeting the bridge linking Ngirbuwa and Gonori town.
The blast destroyed what remained of the structure, cutting off movement between the two communities.
This latest incident comes just two days after a coordinated wave of assaults in neighbouring Borno State, where three other bridges were either partially or completely destroyed.
On Wednesday, terrorists destroyed Manda Fuma bridge near Biu, a strategic route crucial for both civilian and military transit.
In addition to the Manda Fuma bridge, unconfirmed but emerging reports indicated that the bridge in Alaramma was also brought down.
According to a report shared by Eons Intelligence on its official X handle on Wednesday, the bridge connecting the Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Wajiroko to Sabon Gari was also destroyed—severely impacting the movement of security forces and logistical support in the area.
