JUST-IN: 10 Killed, 7 Injured As Suicide Bomber Attacks Borno Fish Market

A suspected Boko Haram suicide bomber, on Friday night, detonated an explosive device at a crowded fish market in Konduga local government area of Borno State, killing 10 persons and injuring seven others.

Security sources and eyewitnesses confirmed that the attacker infiltrated the market in disguise before setting off the explosive.

The blast claimed the lives of the bomber and 10 others on the spot, while seven others sustained varying degrees of injuries.

The Nigerian Army troops and emergency response teams were immediately deployed to the scene, and the injured victims were evacuated to a nearby medical facility for treatment.

Military and other security personnel have since cordoned off the area to avoid further infiltration of other suspected bombers.
