suspected Islamic militants attacked a
wedding convoy in northeast Nigeria and killed
more than 30 people including the groom.
Adamawa state spokesman Ahmad Sajoh said
the wedding ceremony had taken place in Firgi
village in neighboring Borno state and the
groom and guests were driving home to
Adamawa when they were attacked Saturday
on the highway between Bama and Gwoza towns
in Borno.
That road runs alongside forests that are a
known hideout of Islamic militants from the
Boko Haram terrorist network.
Last week suspected extremists attacked a
military checkpoint on the road and witnesses
said they killed at least four security force
members.
Attacks continue though the military has
driven insurgents from major towns in the
northeast under a more than 5-month-old
state of emergency
