[Nigeria] Explosions/Remote violence: Remote explosive/landmine/IED

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. An IED explosion during a landmine clearance operation along Gwoza road in Borno State, Nigeria, killed one soldier around April 10, 2025. The incident is attributed to ISWAP/Boko Haram and highlights continued insurgent activity in Nigeria's northeastern region.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. If confirmed, continued IED threats along major roads in Borno State could disrupt humanitarian aid deliveries and local agricultural transport networks that support regional food security in northeastern Nigeria.

Watch points

• Monitor for additional IED incidents or attacks on military/civilian convoys in the Gwoza area that could indicate expanded insurgent operations
• Watch for any suspension of mine clearance activities or road closures that could affect regional mobility and aid distribution
