A suspected Boko Haram bombing outside a military barracks in Gombe, the capital of Gombe state, killed at least three people. The government recently seized and destroyed copies of certain newspapers due to intelligence reports indicating that “materials with grave security implications” were being circulated by means of newsprint-related consignment; the move was criticized as a clampdown on press freedoms.
