In Maiduguri, Borno, Mr. Damian Chukwu, State Commissioner of Police, has attested to the yesterday evening eventual killings of 16 persons in Konduga, while 82 other were wounded following attack of a suicide bomber who made her way into the Market square, in Mandarari village.

Chukwu said:

“The Command’s Explosive Ordinance Department, EOD, teams were immediately despatched to sanitise the scene and environs for general safety, while normalcy has since been restored.”

This report from the state commissioner is proving wrong the false reports from some online media platforms, claiming the killings of over 35 persons following the attack.

However, residers of Konduga earlier on told journalists that 39 persons were killed while 103 other were wounded and are being treated at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital.
