Suicide Attack
Michael Olugbode
Not less than five persons were killed and several others injured in a
suicide bomb attack at a crowded earlier morning grocery market in
Maiduguri on Friday, a member of the youth vigilance group told our
correspondent on phone.
The attack which temporarily halted sales at the market and sent
jitters to the entire town happened at 6:30 am when some were still in
bed.
The member of the youth vigilance group who spoke anonymously to our
correspondent on phone, said the bomb was detonated by a woman who
arrived the market pretending as if she was one of those that come early
to buy vegetables.
He said the woman arrived in a tricycle at about 6:30 am on Friday at
Gamboru market where a wholesale trading of fresh vegetables are made.
He said that the woman who seeing that she might perhaps be caught by
the security at the entrance to the market quickly detonated the bomb
strapped on her at the tricycles park where "passengers are dropped and
picked"
