National Emergency Management Agency – Three Suicide Bombers Killed in Maiduguri

NEMA has confirmed the death of three suicide bombers that were found at Muna area of Maiduguri who had tried to infiltrate the town on Friday. NEMA’s North-east Zonal Coordinator, Bashir Garga, who confirmed the incident, said that the blast happened outside the town.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that four powerful explosions happened between 9.00 and 9.30 p.m, sending terrifying echoes to several parts of the town.
Mr. Garga disclosed that the suicide bombers detonated Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) strapped to their bodies behind the security trench at Muna Garage area on the outskirts of Maiduguri.
He said that terrifying echoes by the explosions caused some residents of the area to flee which made them sustain injuries.
Mr. Garga added that the wounded were referred to hospital for treatment in Maiduguri.
“Details on the incident is still sketchy. It occurred behind the trenches and only the suicide bombers were killed,” he said, adding that normalcy has been restored to the area.
Muna garage is prone to suicide bomb attacks prompting the military to impose a dusk to dawn curfew to secure the area.
