In what looks like a response from the camp of Boko Haram in Borno state, more than 22 persons have been confirmed dead and more than 51 wounded in Borno over Boko Haram attack. It has been noted that while the cabals empowered Boko Haram with millions of dollars, the Nigerian army has placed the reward 3 million Naira on any person that helps with useful information to capture Shakau.
The Police Commissioner in Borno, Mr Damian Chukwu, on Saturday claimed that 18 persons were killed while 22 others injured in the Friday attack. Chukwu said that a male and two female suicide bombers detonated themselves at the Kasuwar Kifi in Konduga. He explained that the injured persons were referred to the Specialist Hospital, Maiduguri.
However, the National Emergency Management Emergency (NEMA) zonal coordinator, Bashir Garza, put the death toll at 17 and 51 injured. A source had told newsmen that no fewer than 22 persons were killed and 28 others injured in the suicide bombing. A witness, Idrissa Bana, told newsmen that the three suicide bombers simultaneously detonated the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) on their bodies in the crowded market. Bana said that the explosives killed 22 persons and 28 others sustained injuries, adding that those injured were evacuated to a hospital in Maiduguri. “There were a lot of people doing last minute shopping when the suicide bombers hit the market,” he said.
