A devoted Tupac fan is now the new owner of the late rapper’s vintage Hummer H1, after paying a hefty $337,114, reports CNN.

#BBB NEWS| Boko Haram ‘Chief Bomb Maker’ Shot Dead, Nigeria Military Claims

The Nigerian Army today announced the death of an unnamed man, described as the “chief bomb maker” of the Boko Haram terror group, reportedly at the hands of a bodyguard of militant leader Abubakar Shekau.

A statement by Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, the Acting Director of Army Public Relations said the development was a major breakthrough in the clearance and rescue operation by the Nigerian military, and that it also confirms that all is not well within the Boko Haram terrorist's camp.

“The chief bomb maker, apart from his high status in the command structure of the Boko Haram terrorists, he was one of their capable hands involved in making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), coming after their chief scientist, called Abu RPG (who has been killed long ago),” he said.

He added that the man was shot by the bodyguard as he was about to run away as many other terrorists are now doing on account of the intensity of the army’s Operation CRACKDOWN.

Our initial goal is to significantly bring down response time by our responders,” the governor said.
