Breaking News :boko Haram Attacks Shop In Damaturu by adehsenior(m): 4:53pm On Oct 07, 2015 |
Residents of Damaturu, the Yobe state capital, have
disclosed that no fewer than twenty-seven (27) people were
killed on Wednesday Morning when suicide bombers on bike
attacked and detonated an improvised explosive device
(IED) in a shop along Damaturu β Gashua road.
Hamisu Mohammed Gadaka told DAILY
POST that contrary to earlier claims that the
explosion occurred at an estate, the
explosion was actually at a shop near an
estate along Gahua road.
According to him, βIt was so sad we lost 27
people this morning in Damaturu as a
result of suicide attack in one of the shops
along Gashua road. Some of the people
who were outside when the explosion
occurred said they saw the suicide bomber
when he was approaching and suspected
that the way he was riding the bike seems
suspicious, but unfortunately our attitude
to such occasion is that people see things,
suspect it but ignore it.
βI was actually in the house when I heard
the sound of the explosion, and by the time
I came out some human parts were already
at the front of our house. We were helping
when the security operatives arrived and
asked us to clear from the scene of the
explosion,β Hamisu told our reporter on
phone.
He continued that when they left, the
security operative secured the area and the
corpses were evacuated to the Sani Abacha
General Hospital in the state capital.
Another resident, Umar Kalamu told DAILY
POST that over 30 people were evacuated
to the hospital, among them eleven (11)
were already confirmed dead while six (6)
others died in the hospital upon arrival.
He noted that other injured victims are in
critical situation as at the time he left the
Sani Abacha Specialist hospital in
Damaturu.
There is no official confirmation of the
number of deaths from the incident by the
police as at the time of filing this report. http://dailypost.ng/2015/10/07/boko-haram-attacks-shop-in-damaturu-kills-many/ |
