“A woman carrying a baby detonated an Improvised Explosive Device IED at a busy motor park in Mararaba T. Junction in Gwoza town.

“The explosion claimed the lives of the woman, her baby, and six others, with fifteen individuals who sustained injuries currently receiving treatment at General Hospital Gwoza,” the police said. 

According to a survivor, one of the bombers, shockingly carried a baby on her back as she entered the venue and detonated the device. 

A military source in Gwoza reported that a female suicide bomber crossed the road near the military base and detonated an IED, resulting in the death of a soldier.

It was learnt that the  terrorists reinforced and returned to the 192 Brigade but the Nigerian Army troops successfully repelled the attack. 

However, the bomber identified as a young mother in her twenties pretended to be a guest at the wedding.

While trying to bury the deceased, another bomber disguised as a mourner detonated an IED at the burial site, killing one person.
