soldiers not to stay at the joint past 4 p.m.

the victims had been watching a televised match in a bar.
In recent weeks, Boko Haram has carried out deadly attacks
in the northeast Nigerian states of Adamawa, Borno and tone, despite the
Federal Government's declaration of a state if emergency in the three states.
