Terrorist group, Boko Haram has reportedly bombed a small bridge linking Nigeria to Cameroon on Thursday, May 8, 2014.
The bombing occurred in the outskirts of
Gamboru Ngala, the same village of the Monday attack that claimed the
lives of over 300.
According to Sahara Reporters:
At least 30 people
were killed during the late Thursday afternoon bombing incident, sources
tell SaharaReporters. The bridge links the immigration check points of
both Cameroon and Nigeria.
The bombing event took place on the same day of a mass burial in the town of Gamboru Ngala. It was there on Monday where a Boko Haram-led raid on the small village claimed the lives of over 300 residents, nearly ten per cent of the population.

Sources tell
SaharaReporters that 315 people of the 336 who died in the Monday attack
were buried in a solemn ceremony led by civic and religious leaders.
The Boko Haram has
not claimed responsibility for this latest bombing attack, but residents
of Gamboru Ngala told us that there is deep suspicion that the Islamist
group is behind this latest attack in this vulnerable area.
Since the Monday
attacks many of the local Gamboru Ngala youth have joined an
anti-Islamist vigilante force in the smoldering village. It was created
and scores of young people are helping Nigerian military forces in the
area.
