No fewer than 30 persons died, with over 100 injured when suicide bombers attacked wedding and funeral ceremonies in Borno state.

The First Class Emir of Gwoza Local Government Area in Borno state, His Royal Highness, Alhaji Mohammed Shehu Timta, on Saturday, confirmed that multiple suicide attacks were carried out at various locations, including a wedding reception and a burial ceremony in Gwoza town.

The coordinated incidents, which took place in the afternoon, caused pandemonium as people scamper for safety.

Reliable sources said: “More than 30 innocent civilians were killed, while over 100 sustained various degrees of injuries.

“Many of the victims have been evacuated to Maiduguri for medical attention.”

Woman and two children
Confirming the incident to Vanguard exclusively, the royal father, Timta, said, “The entire Gwoza council area is in serious mourning following multiple suicide attacks on our community.

“The first suicide attack was masterminded by an unidentified woman. She sneaked in with two children into a wedding reception of a popular young man in Gwoza. Then she detonated her Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs, killing herself and many people.

“Few minutes after, another suicide bomber sneaked into a burial ceremony nearby and detonated IEDs. And as i am talking to you right now, the third explosion just occurred a few minutes ago with more casualties.

“At least, over 100 people were injured, and most of them who sustained serious injuries have been rushed to Maiduguri with military escort for proper medical attention.

“This is just a preliminary confirmation, as details of the casualties are still yet unknown. But I will keep you posted on any developments,” the Emir stated.


Reacting to the incidents, a member representing Gwoza/Chibok/Damboa federal constituency, Ahmed Usman Jaha a.k.a Babawo, sympathized with the families of those who lost their loved ones in the multiple attacks.

He prayed Allah to grant the souls of the deceased Aljannatul Firdaus. Also, he wished those who sustained injuries quick recovery.

If a guard had tried to check every guest, the guard would have been publicly condemned for not breaking protocols for a nursing mother.

That's how sentimentalists shielded Mohbad's wife because she is a nursing mother.

By the way, imagine how tribal bigots will sound if this had happened in the East.

Are we back to 2014, when they were blaming bombing on GEJ's cluelessness. Anyway boko haram only attacking soft targets. 3 places in a day.

Nawah, what can convince a human being to blow himself up just to kill other people?

I thought they are religion of peace.

I believe those granted amnesty are the ones responsible for these crisis.

The idea would be to disrupt the Tinubu administration just like they sponsored bombings all over the country during the GEJ era.

The emergency lovers of the South East have all disappeared from this thread

If this had happened in the South-East, this thread would have been littered with non-southeasterners who only remember there is insecurity in Nigeria, only when it happens in the East, each of them crying and wailing that it is IPOB killing Igbos

Really bad!

COMRADES, Gwoza is predominantly Christians, so the objective for the target is clear

Whether you like it or not, Christians lives are in great danger in Nigeria

The north nuked itself, enemies don't need to fire a single shot. Thos is like the biblical story where the children of God cried out and the enemies started fighting themselves.

The same thing that can make some men lead their kinsmen to the slaughter and miserable kwashiorkor while they themselves run away. It is called MANIPULATION.

Back to bedlam

Every slave thinks a freedom fighter is a fool, that's how it has always been

Yes because these slave know very well that it's all about lust for power, power to as well oppress others. The use of the word 'freedom' has always been the catch word by manipulators who end up becoming another OPPRESSOR.
