No fewer than 10 people have been confirmed dead while 30 others were injured following triple explosions that rocked the Chibok town of Borno state.
This explosion is coming as President Muhammadu Buhari is on a three-day visit to Kenya where he is expected to discuss with his counterpart in the East African country on how to tackle terrorism.
According to Ayuba Chibok who spoke with AFP on Wednesday, the three bombers blew themselves up on a market day.
He said: “The casualty toll is not conclusive but so far at least 10 people have been confirmed dead and over 30 injured.”
According to the head of a town, the first bomber detonated his explosives at the checkpoint where people entering the town were being searched while the second bomber blew himself up in Chibok’s weekly market.
The third suicide bomber set off his explosives near the market when he was about to be apprehended
As at the time of filing this report, no group or individual has claimed responsibility for the multiple blasts but the manner of the mishap is synonymous to those of Islamist extremists, Boko Haram.
Dazzban Buba, another resident who reportedly volunteered to take care of some victims, confirmed that ten bodies were sighted while about 30 people suffered injuries from burns and fractures.
