TWO suicide bombers, male and female, detonated their bombs on a heavily populated Maiduguri Monday market, killing several innocent people, on Tuesday, November 25. Eye witnesses said as many as about 40 people were killed and several others injured in the incident which occurred at about 11: 20 am.

One of the witnesses, who preferred anonymity because of repercussion, said that it was the female bomber that first detonated her bomb as she approached the market. “Just as the people gathered around her corpse and a few other people that died in the first explosion, a male, this time around, detonated the explosive on him which killed several people. No one can give you the exact casualty now but more than 30 persons were killed and many have been taken to the hospital.”

Security operatives have since cordoned off the area.
