Suicide Attack Kills Many in Adamawa


A suicide bomber, believed to be a boy, struck at a crowded market in Gombi, Adamawa State yesterday, killing many people according to witnesses. A local vigilante leader told Daily Trust on telephone that 20 persons are feared dead.

Other accounts say there were twin blasts at the Gombi Grain Market, at about 2:00pm when the market was at its peak. A source said following the blasts, chaos ensued as residents rushed to the scene in search of loved ones.

Gombi was recaptured from Boko Haram insurgents in 2014 and since then, the violent sect has made several failed attempts to retake it from soldiers.


Military authorities at the 23 Armoured Brigade in Yola could not be reached for comment as at press time yesterday.
