At least 24 people have reportedly been killed after a female suicide bomber attacked a local food joint in Konduga LGA of Borno state.
Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication focused on
the Lake Chad region, said the incident occurred at about 10pm on Friday,
leaving several others severely injured.
Citing police sources, the publication said the attacker
detonated the IED at the food joint.
Makama said the body of the suicide bomber was torn apart by
the blast, with only the head recovered.
The publication said the bodies of the deceased have been
deposited in a morgue, while the injured victims were taken to a nearby
hospital where they are receiving treatment.
A joint security team — comprising military and police
officers, civilian joint task force (CJTF), and local hunters — has reportedly
visited the scene of the bombing.
The publication said the area has since been cordoned off
while security has been heightened across Konduga to prevent further attacks.
In August 2024, at least 17 people were killed after a
suspected suicide bomber attacked a market in Konduga.
