Twenty persons, including a female suicide
bomber, were killed in a major market in
Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, after
an attack by a suspected Boko Haram
sect member on Saturday
The blast also injured 18, the Police Public
Relations Officer of the Borno State Police
Command, Gideon Jubrin, said.
According to him, the incident occurred at
about 12.30pm at a section of the Monday
market.
The market has become a target of the
Boko Haram female suicide bombers as
the Saturday bombing marked the third
time that the market would be attacked in
the last three months.
In a statement, the police spokesman said,
“20 persons were killed in the attack,
including the female suicide bomber, with
18 others injured at the market.”
The death toll may however be higher as
aid and emergency agency workers were
still busy evacuating the dead and the
injured from the scene of the attack.
The spokesman for National Emergency
Management Authority, AbdulKadir Ibrahim,
said workers from the agency were at the
market to render assistance, but declined
to give the casualty figure.
It was gathered that a female suicide
bomber attacked the market at about 12.30
pm Saturday.
The attack was at the Yen-Kaji area of
the market where chickens are sold.
