A vehicle transporting local traders hit an improvised landmine killing at least 10 people and wounding 23 in an area of northeast Nigeria, three paramilitary sources said on Thursday, Paralel.Az reports citing eNCA.

The convoy of farmers and fishermen left the garrison town of Monguno on Wednesday on their way to Lake Chad when their flat-bed vehicle ran over a mine believed to have been planted by militans of radical groups, the sources said.

10 dead bodies and 23 injured victims were recovered from the scene.

The dead were buried on Wednesday while the injured were taken to hospital in the town.
