At a small eatery in Borno State’s Konduga small Government Area, a suicide bomber murdered more than ten people and wounded several others on Friday.
It was reported by our correspondent that the event happened at about 10 p.m.
Over ten persons have been killed as a result of the bombing, according to Borno State Police Command spokesperson ASP Nahum Daso, who confirmed the incident to The Intercept on Saturday. The precise number of deaths is still being investigated.
“Yesterday, around 22:00 in Konduga, just unfortunately, somebody invaded a gathering with a bomb, killing over 10 persons,” he said.
“We have deployed our EOD experts, together with the military and other security agencies, to the town,” he added, referring to the command’s attempts to bring peace and order back to the region.
Daso affirmed that an inquiry into the event had begun in order to learn more about the attack’s specifics.
“Investigation is ongoing to ascertain what actually or really happened. The detail is still scanty,” the PPRO added.
