A bomb explosion has rocked a village market in troubled Borno state
leaving 20 persons dead and 25 others injured, a youth vigilance member
said on Tuesday.
The youth vigilance member, Abdul Isa, told our correspondent on phone: "Many people were killed in Sabon Gari market along Maiduguri-Damboa-Biu highway this (Tuesday) afternoon when a bomb explosion rocked the market.''
He said: "Our men heard loud explosion at about 1:35pm, when they got there people were scattered some beyond recognition."
He added that the incident was not suicide bombing but rather from a planted bomb at the centre of the market.
Another member of the youth vigilance group in Sabon Gari, Yusuf Musa, told our correspondent on phone that 20 corpses were picked after the bomb attack at the town's market.
Musa said 25 other persons were injured in the attack which occurred at about 1:35 pm on Tuesday.
He said: “We were called to evacuate the corpses and assist the injured to hospital during which I counted 20 dead bodies and our men assisted 25 injured persons to health facilities."
