Witnesses reported hearing twin explosions, one in the Hausari area and another in the Mararaba area, a busy bicycle market. In response to the attack, soldiers have reportedly taken control of Gwoza’s streets to restore order and ensure safety.
This incident has revived painful memories of the insurgency in Borno State, where suicide attacks were once frequent. However, recent efforts by security forces had largely mitigated such threats until this tragic incident.
In a separate occurrence, Boko Haram insurgents kidnapped Justice Haruna Mshelia, a high court judge in Borno State, along with his wife, driver, and orderly. The kidnapping happened on Monday afternoon on the Buratai-Buni-Gari road while Justice Mshelia was en route to Maiduguri for his official duties. Eyewitnesses described armed men ambushing the judge’s vehicle, setting up a roadblock, and forcibly abducting them.

The recent escalation in violence has underscored the persistent threat from terrorist groups in the region. Nonetheless, prominent figures like Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), have stressed that the actions of extremist leaders do not represent all Muslims. Pastor Adeboye highlighted this during a sermon, calling for unity and understanding amidst the chaos.
As the community deals with the aftermath of these violent episodes, the necessity for ongoing vigilance and enhanced security measures remains critical.
