The spokesperson of the Yobe state Police Command, DSP Toyin Gbadegeshin, has revealed that a pregnant woman and a baby, lost their lives in this morning’s bombing of Damaturu motor park.
Gbadegeshin said the female suicide bomber, who was about 12 years old, killed herself and four others in the blast, adding that three people were in critical condition, while 40 others had been taken to hospitals in the area.
“The girl detonated the explosive at the screening centre of the motor park gate, killing herself and four others, including a pregnant woman and a baby.
“The other explosive went off at about the same time with the first one at Pompomari, when a suspected male suicide bomber, sensing he will be apprehended, ran into a nearby bush and the explosive went off, killing him alone,” the police spokesman said.
