Boko Haram: 8 die in fresh Adamawa suicide bombing
A suspected Boko Haram suicide bomber has hit a market in Gombi area of Adamawa state.
At least eight people are reported killed in the attack. But state police spokesperson Othman Abubakar said only three people, including the suicide bomber, are so far confirmed dead.
Abubakar said 17 others were injured.
The attack happened 12:00 noon on Friday barely two days after two female suicide bombers killed 14 people in Chibok, Borno State.
It was from Chibok Boko Haram kidnapped over 200 schoolgirls the Nigerian government have been unable to rescue.
President Muhammdu Buhari said he’s not even sure if the girls are still alive. But a journalist with Boko Haram contacts says the schoolgirls are hale and hearty.
The Chibok and Gombi bombings will be blamed on Boko Haram which is regarded as the deadliest terrorist group in the world.
The terrorists, who have killed over 20,000 people in Nigeria since 2009, want to establish an Islamic Caliphate in the country.
They seized territories in the past but have been pushed back by a resurgent Nigerian Army.
Nigeria’s army chief, Tukur Burutai, recently declared victory over Boko Haram claiming the group is “dead.”.
