Two passers-by, accomplice die in suicide bombing

Maiduguri - A woman suicide bomber on Saturday
killed two passers-by and her accomplice in an
attack in Yobe State, witnesses and security sources
told AFP.
Moments before the explosion, the female attacker
and her accomplice, had tried to board a bus but
were stopped by the driver.
"The suicide mission took place at around 1130 am
when two women wearing hijabs tried to board a
commercial vehicle but the wary driver resisted," a
highly-placed security source said.
"One of the women was wearing the bomb around
her waist and it exploded after the bus departed,
killing the other woman and two other people," the
source added.

According to witnesses, the two women tried to
board the bus in the village of Ngamdu, 90
kilometres (55 miles) from Maiduguri, the capital of
Borno state, and 40 kilometres from Damaturu, the
capital of the neighbouring state of Yobe.
"The two women were wearing the hijab and they
told the driver they wanted to go to Damaturu," said
a witness Sharu Hassan, a Ngamdu resident.
After the explosion, residents of the village shut
themselves up in their homes leaving the four dead
bodies on the road, witneses said.
Almost 90 people have been killed in explosions
blamed on Boko Haram this week alone, all of them
at crowded bus stations in northern and central
regions of the country.
Troops, aided by soldiers from Cameroon, Chad and
Niger, have bombarded rebel strongholds in
northeast Nigeria and claim to have recaptured
territory, including Baga last weekend.
