Again, suicide bomber hits Maiduguri, kills two

Another suicide bomber has attacked the Borno state capital, Maiduguri, killing two persons at Muna Garage.

The attack, which comes less than a week after a suicide bomber was gunned down at a camp for the internally displaced, was confirmed by the Police command in Borno on Thursday.

“About 2106 hours of Wednesday, an explosion occurred at Muna garage along Gamboru Ngala road Maiduguri,” Victor Isuku, the spokesman of the command said via a statement.

“Two persons, including the suicide bomber, died on the spot while a Mercedes Benz car with registration number, AX 571 ABJ, parked by the road side was damaged by the impact of the explosion.”

He said that normalcy had returned to the area.

Last Friday, a suspected suicide bomber detonated explosives at the entrance of Muna garage, killing himself alone.

Another bomber killed himself and two vigilantes a few metres away from Gamboru-Ngala road, almost the same time while another bomber was killed before gaining entry into the Custom House refugee camp, the same Friday.
