At Least 8 Killed In Gombe Attack

At least eight people have been reported killed
by unidentified gunmen in Dukku in Gombe
State, North-East Nigeria.

The incident is reported to have stalled voting in
Dukku as well as Shole.

Suspected terrorists in cars and
motorcycles were
reported to have started shooting sporadically in the
areas.

In Dukku the attackers were said to have burnt a
police station and a bank, causing voters to desert
the areas.

Earlier in Enugu, tragedy was averted after a Honda
car driven by yet to be identified persons and
conveying items suspected to be Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), exploded
shattering the said vehicle on the road behind the
WTC polling station at the Ogui area of Enugu.

It was gathered that due to the heavy presence of
security operatives at the venue, the drivers of the
vehicle could not gain access to the polling area but
had to park the vehicle and left before the blast
occurred.
