Six persons have been killed in the suicide attack on a Maiduguri market on Monday, a hospital source said.
The medical personnel at the Borno Specialists Hospital, Maiduguri, where the corpses were deposited, equally said 36 injured persons were brought in for treatment.
A soldier, who spoke with our correspondent on the condition of anonymity, said the female suicide bomber tried to gain entrance into the market but was stopped by the local vigilante attached to the market who requested to search her.
He said, “She refused and was pushed aside by the civilian JTF. She must have detonated the bomb in the process as it immediately went off tearing her into pieces and cutting off an arm of the civilian JTF.
“Five other people died in the process and we have evacuated their bodies to the morgue and have also taken over 30 injured persons to the hospital.”
Meanwhile, the stop and search of vehicles has increased in the town.
