The recent suicide bomb attacks in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State resulted in over 32 deaths and 50 injuries [b289dc8e]. The attacks raised concerns about the resurgence of suicide bombings in the region. The State Commissioner of Police revealed that 30 suicide bombers were let loose by the Shekau insurgency group. Contrary to initial reports, four suicide bombers were found at the scene of the attack. The Boko Haram insurgents are regrouping, with three groups still active in the Northeast. The Shekau group, led by one of the boys of the late Muhammad Yusuf, is responsible for the recent attacks in Gwoza. The military has degraded the Shekau group, but the other two groups, led by terrorists named Habib and Mamunur, are still active. The recent attacks in Gwoza were carried out in four different locations. Some residents have expressed concerns about the security situation and called for increased efforts by the military. The Nigerian Army and Police have joined forces to prevent the resurgence of suicide bombings in Borno State. They will focus on intelligence gathering and collaborative security measures to detect and neutralize potential threats. The joint effort aims to ensure citizens' safety and prevent the re-emergence of suicide bombings in the state [b289dc8e].
