Dozens were injured and at least 11 people killed at spot in a powerful blast that hit a crowded market in the city of Damaturu on Sunday. The explosive device went off at around 9.30 am on Sunday.

The attack comes just six day after a suicide bombing at a checkpoint on the outskirts of the same city.

According to the latest reports, 15 people were killed and at least 50 others seriously wounded when a female suicide bomber detonated a bomb hidden under her veil at a market, popularly known as Sunday market. Two other female suicide bombers with hidden explosive devices were arrested in the city hours after the blast. Ket

The Sunday market in Damaturu attracts thousands vendors every week on Sundays. According to survived witnesses, the female suicide bomber set off her explosive device in the crowded place right outside the entrance of the market where traders usually off-load their goods.

“It was a messy scene to behold. More than a dozen persons were battered by the bomb – beyond recognition; many other victims who did not die, were left with damaging injuries that they may not survive”, told the press a trader Abdullahi Haruna, who witnessed the blast.

Damaturu Specialist Hospital representatives confirmed to the press that “as at 11am, fifteen people were confirmed dead, while over 50 are seriously injured and are being attended at the accident and emergency ward”.

The checkpoint on a major highway connecting Damaturu with Borno state capital Maiduguri was reportedly hit by the bomber on Monday.

A hospital representative informed the press that at least two people, whose bodies were transported to the hospital, were killed in the blast. Another three received injuries.

The police spokesman, Toyin Gbadegesin told the press that “eight people including the suicide bomber died, two security operatives were among the dead“.
