Blast rocks Gombe

AFTER a lull, terrorists on Monday struck in Sabon-Laye, the Gombe capital, where they exploded a bomb.

Although no life was confirmed lost at press time, the incident caused panic in the state capital and brought business activities to a standstill as shop owners and traders immediately shut their outlets and markets and rushed to their homes.

Nevertheless, the military in Borno State made a breakthrough as they recovered a register alleged to contain suspected Boko Haram members during a dawn raid in the home of a “commander” of the terrorist group.

Some concerned residents in Gombe said yesterday’s blast had cast doubts on the purported dialogue between the Federal Government and the Boko Haram.
