At least seven people were reportedly killed on Saturday after two suspected suicide bombers attacked some wedding guests at Marrarraban Gwoza in Borno state.
Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on
the Lake Chad region, reported that many of the victims were said to be
returning from a wedding ceremony when the first suicide bomber detonated her
explosive near a motor park.
Makama said the suicide bomber was identified as a lady in
her early 20s, adding that the injured ones were taken to the hospital in
Gwoza.
Also, another bomber, disguised as a mourner, detonated an
explosive in Gwoza LGA as residents were preparing for the burial of those
killed in the first attack.
Makama said one person reportedly died and 16 others were
injured during the attack.
The publication added that Yusuf Lawal, Borno commissioner
of police, confirmed the incident.
Meanwhile, the military has imposed a curfew in Gwoza LGA to
enable them to secure the town from any further threat.
In March 2024, two people were injured after an improvised
explosive device (IED), strapped to a suspected suicide bomber, detonated near
a mosque in Biu LGA of Borno state.
