Boko Haram bombs bar & brothel joint in Adamawa state, 60 killed

According to a breaking news report by Sahara Reporters, Boko Haram
men yesterday June 1st bombed a bar and brothel located near a major
military base in Mubi, Adamawa State, killing 60 people.

Two security sources in the area told SaharaReporters that a
horrendous explosion rocked the bar and brothel which usually teems
with civilian and military patrons. The explosion happened close to 6
pm. Nigerian time, both sources said. One of our sources said none of
the casualties was a soldier, but the other stated that it was too
early to determine whether any of the dead were soldiers.

The bombed facility is a short distance away from the headquarters of
the Special Operations Battalion (SOB) of the Nigerian army in Mubi.
The battalion is at the center of the Nigerian government's
counter-offensive against Boko Haram's increasingly daring attacks on
military and civilian targets.

Soldiers based in Mubi frequently join civilians to eat, drink and
dance at the watering hole, our sources said, adding that military
commanders generally warned soldiers not to stay at the joint past 4
