Suicide Bombers’ Attack Leaves 16 Dead, 82 Injured In Borno

Borno attack

Suicide bomb attacks on a mini motor park in Borno’s town have killed 16 people and injured 82.

Commissioner of Police Damian Chukwu, confirmed to journalists, in Maiduguri, that a male and two female bombers approached the motor park, on Tuesday evening, at about 5.30p.m and thereafter blew up themselves. Details of the explosion were sketchy until Wednesday when the confirmation from police came.

“Two female suicide bombers and a male counterpart approached a Mini Motor park/market at Konduga town, the headquarters of Konduga Local Government Area of the state. They all detonated IEDs strapped to their bodies, killing themselves and 16 others while about 82 persons were injured,” the CP disclosed.

He said victims have been evacuated to the state General hospital for treatment while the police Explosives Ordinance Department (EOD) have been deployed to the area to render the scene and the vicinity date.

However, hospital and emergency sources said the casualties may have risen as some corps were discovered early Wednesday morning at the scene. A source at the State Specialists Hospital said some of the injured were responding to treatment.

Konduga which has been severally attacked by Boko Haram, is about 35 kilometres east of Maiduguri.

      If u are not happy does not mean everybody is not happy
      Me personally am happy the way the animals are killing theirselves by themselves all in the name of stupid religion
      The government knows the people behind all this nonsense
      But they are playing politics with human lives
      I thank God it can only happen in the north
      Where those animals can be brainwashed to believe there are 72 virgins waiting for them after killing their fellow human beings
      And also dine with their holy prophet Mohammed

    They brought this to themselves by supporting implementation of Sharia code, now its has back fired on them. It sad tax payers money is used to fight this war supported by majority of northern Muslims. How can OBJ, GEJ or even their own PMB win a war which is supported by Muslims, the last time we check in the news, the northerners are either hiding this insurgents or giving out their sons and daughter for marriage and suicide bombing.. I only pity the non Muslims who are in the North’s doing business.
