About 30 persons were reportedly killed in multiple bomb blasts carried out by suspected Boko Haram members. 40 others were reportedly wounded.
Speaking with one of our correspondents on the phone, the Head of the Rescue Team of the Borno State Emergency Management Agency, Bello Dambatta, said suicide attacks by three females on Konduga left 30 persons and others injured and hospitalised. Dambatta said the attacks occurred simultaneously on Sunday at about 8 pm.
According to a statement by Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, “President Buhari decries the heinous acts, stressing that perpetrators of evil acts have judgment awaiting them, not only from a man via the long arms of the law but also from God Almighty.”
