SAN FRANCISCO, June 01, (THEWILL) – Suspected terrorists targeted soccer fans watching a football match at a field in Mubi, Adamawa State, on Sunday evening killing at least 40 persons.
According to a report in the AFP, a policeman who asked not to be named said the number could rise.
However, Reuters quoted sources as saying that the victims had been watching a televised match.
Adamawa is one of the three states in north eastern Nigeria where the federal government declared a state of emergency as the military continues to battle radical Islamic insurgents.
