Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo’s visit on
Wednesday to Maiduguri, the capital of the
troubled Borno State, was heralded by suicide
bomb attacks.
The Punch can report that two suicide bombers
(a male and a female) detonated bombs in Molai
village few kilometres from scenes visited by
Osinbajo, who was in the town to visit internally
displaced persons (IDPs).
A member of the youth vigilante group, Kaka
Yusuf, told our correspondent on the telephone in
Maiduguri that another set of suicide bombers
four days after last Saturday’s bombing incident
at a general hospital in Molai where five persons
died and 16 others injured were back to attack
the town.
Molai is 10 kilometres to the south of Maiduguri,
where the Vice-President visited.
Maiduguri houses about 1.5 million persons
made homeless by the Boko Haram insurgency.
They include about 125,000 quartered in 22
camps.
Yusuf said the two suicide bombers blew
themselves up and in the process injured two
persons.
He said the suicide bombers were suspected to
have sneaked into Molai from Sambisa Forest.
He said: “It must have been accidental
detonation as no known persons or structure
were targeted by the suicide bombers.
“The explosions occurred at about 11 am close
to Molai Leprosy/General Hospital and about 100
metres away from a local market. It left both
suicide bombers dead with two innocent people
injured, many residents including patients on
admission at the hospital were left scampering
for safety.”
Yusuf said the first suicide bomber (a female)
detonated the explosive strapped on him at the
entrance/gate of the hospital injuring two
passersby, while the other one who was riding a
bicycle accidentally detonated his explosives at
the back of the hospital before reaching the
fence at the backyard, killing himself only.
