WATCH THE VIDEO HERE THE State Government has expressed shock over the multiple bombings in the Gwoza area of the state which led to several deaths and injuries. “It is not an intelligence failure. It is an error that we did not see coming,” the Commissioner for Information and Internal Security Usman Tar said. Scores of persons died in the string of bombings one of which happened during a wedding celebration in the North-Eastern state. Several others were also wounded in the Saturday attacks, emergency authorities said. According to the commissioner, the attackers may have exploited the state’s porous borders to carry out the bombings. “If terrorists want to attack and they use a particular route that you don’t know, what can you do? As you know our boundaries are porous that is internationally. Even our local boundaries are porous,” Usman said. “If terrorists want to attack, they do it using the frontlines. That was what probably happened.”
