Suspected Boko Haram fighters opened fire on a

bachelor party in Borno State, killing eight people

and wounding several others, witnesses said

yesterday.

“Three Boko Haram members came on motorcycles

at about 11 yesterday night,” Abdul Usman said in

Maiduguri, where he fled after escaping the attack

on Tashan Alade village. “They were shooting
