Two female bombers have died in Borno State after the explosives they were carrying detonated prematurely.
The
would-be attackers were blown apart at about 2pm on Sunday, March 22,
at Auno village in the Konduga Local Government Area of the state,
Punch reports.
They were believed to have been
making their way to the popular Monday Market in Maiduguri, the state
capital, when they lost their lives.
“The
suicide bombers were said to have been brought from Damaturu by one
suspected Boko Haram terrorist, who dropped them in Jakana and told them
to take a bus to the next town. On reaching Auno, they thought it was
Maiduguri and they start asking about Maiduguri Monday Market," an eyewitness, Gana Bukar told Punch.
“We
were told that their master dropped them in Jakana because he knew that
it would be very difficult for them to beat security checkpoints and
enter Maiduguri,” he added.
Seven people, who
were said to have been injured in the resulting explosion, are
currently receiving treatment at the Maiduguri General Hospital.
