Five people are feared dead while others seriously injured in a suicide attack that took place in Konduga, Borno state today December 28th.
A female suicide bomber infiltrated the community and detonated an IED strapped on her. An eye witness, Bukar Fantai, told newsmen that the bomber managed to sneak into the village disguising as a grain merchant. Fantai said that the insurgent first approached a shop keeper and offered sorghum for sale. He said the terrorist, thereafter, went to a shade where many villagers gathered for relaxation and detonated the explosive. “The suicide bomber detonated the IED, blew up himself, killing three other persons, while 13 others sustained injuries in the explosion,” he said. A competent security source confirmed the attack to newsmen, saying that the wounded persons were referred to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH) for treatment.
