Gruesome pictures of the causalities recorded after stepping on landmines reportedly planted by Boko Haram terrorists in Gwoza local government area of Borno State have emerged.
 
According to reports, the military men drove over the land mines around Warabe village barely fifteen kilometers away from Gwoza local government headquarters.
 
The vehicle, part of a convoy under military escort, veered off the road in an attempt to overtake another vehicle when it hit the device.
 
Military and civilian militia sources blamed Boko Haram jihadists for planting the mine, underlying the persistent threat to civilians in the remote region.
 
“The vehicle exploded and all the eight people inside were killed,” said a military officer who talked to AFP.
 
“Seven more people from the other vehicle were injured from the explosion.”
 
The incident happened at about 10:00am at Warabe village, some 15 kilometres (nearly 10 miles) from the town of Gwoza, said civilian militia leader Umar Ari.
 
The convoy had left Gwoza and was heading to Pulka some 20 kilometres away on the border with Cameroon he added.
