Dozens
killed and many injured in Biu town today as a suicide bomber driving a
tricycle scaled through security check and blast himself near a crowded
neighbourhood, witnesses said.
The suicide attack occurred
at about 3pm when the suspect, a man, managed to pass through the
checkpoint which a suicide bomber attacked last Wednesday, and detonated
the explosive after alighting from a commercial tricycle, popularly
known as Keke Napep.
A witness, who identified
himself as Nasiru, said, “The suicide bomber had come off the Keke
Napep and was heading towards the roadside when the bomb went off,
killing those that were inside the Keke Napep and those standing by the
road side.
“Though the suicide bomber did not die immediately,
he was later shot dead by angry members of Civillian-JTF. Many have been
injured and some have died including the suicide bomber.”
