Boko Haram insurgents this past Sunday struck again in Yobe and Bauchi states, killing 11 people and this includes including five soldiers.
The attack in Bauchi was carried out by a lone suicide bomber at the Bulala Motor Park in the troubled Potiskum. Five people died and 36 others were injured.
While That of Yobe was at a military checkpoint in Takanda-Giwa on the Bauchi-Jos Highway. Five soldiers and a civilian passerby were said to have lost their lives to the incident which took place a few hours after the militant Islamist sect abducted 80 people in Cameroon.
The source added that nine out of the 36 injured persons were later referred to the Federal Medical Centres in Azare and Nguru.
A motor park source, Idris AbdulKadir, said the suicide bomber sneaked into Bulala garage along the Bauchi-Jos Road and detonated an explosive device, killing himself and four others on the spot.
“The explosion went off around 9.50am on Sunday. As I speak, we counted five dead bodies but many other people are being conveyed to the hospital in Potiskum for immediate medical attention,” AbdulKadir said.
