Four female suicide bombers have killed 10 people including themselves in Madagali town in the northern part of Adamawa State. A local official in Madagali said three explosions ripped through a crowded motor park near a check point around 9 o’clock in the morning.
Spokesperson of the 28 Task Force Battalion in Mubi, Major Bakare Akintoye, said two civilians were killed while 16 sustained various degrees of injury. He explained that the attackers detonated their bombs after they were spotted by security operatives, while the fourth was shot dead by soldiers.
Major Akintoye stated that six injured persons were treated at a military health centre in Madagali while the dead were taken to the General Hospital, Michika. He noted that the situation in the area was calm as commercial activities had since resumed, calling on residents to report suspicious persons or objects to security men.
