Northeast Nigeria has been under a state of emergency for the past 5 months. It wasimposed to give the security forces the powers to go on the offensive against the Islamistmilitant group known as Boko Haram. And although the army has driven militant out of majortowns, attacks by Boko Haram continue. Sometimes the militants attack military installationsand government offices, but they've also gone for soft targets such as churches, schools andhospitals. And in the latest incident they've attacked a wedding killing more than 30 membersof the party including the groom. They were going down as they traveled back from thewedding in Borno State in the northeast, to neighboring Adamawa State. Aman Sajo isspokesman for Adamawa State:
"The information we have is that some people from Borno State to attend a wedding inAdamawa State and on their way back we learn that they were attacked."
I ask our correspondent in Lagos Will Ross more about where the latest incident has takenplace.
"While it's on the road between a couple of fairly small places called Bama and Banki. And this isin the Borno State up in the northeast. What we see in the last few weeks is that conflict thereseems to move from the urban centers out into the rural areas. And the attackers we assumethey belong to Boko Haram. They've basically been getting in the way with often pretending tobe soldiers so they actually set up roadblocks and tricked people into thinking that it's militaryroadblock. And in this instance we understand it was a wedding convoy that was attacked.And the eyewitnesses say about 30 people were killed including the groom."
