Two persons have died in Gombe, capital of Gombe State, after an explosive device reportedly went off prematurely. According to a top security source in the state, the dead were a soldier and the suicide bomber a woman who was “scattered” by the blast.
If confirmed, it will be the first recorded case of a female suicide-bomber in Nigeria. “The explosion occurred at about 11am along Military Quarter Guard along Biu Road in Gombe,” the source said. “The woman had the explosive in her bag, but the thing went off prematurely. She was scattered by the explosion. Unluckily, she got a soldier as well.”
The source further told TheCable that although the woman hadn’t arrived her destination when the bomb went off, chances were high that the military quarters was her target.
