8 killed, 15 injured in Maiduguri explosion

At least, eight people were killed and 15 others injured when an Improvised Explosive Device (IEDs) suspected to be detonated by a female suicide bomber exploded in a Golf car yesterday. 

The explosion took place while the car was attempting to enter a convoy of military vehicles accompanying some persons to Gamboru Ngala town at the Muna area of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, an eyewitness said.
Mallam Modu Garba, an eyewitness, said the suicide bomber was among the five passengers of a Golf taxi car with registration num-ber, JERE 349 XA and body S/No RTEAN 7179. It was said to have picked up the suspect along the roadside, where she detonated the IEDs, killing herself, three other female passengers and the driver.
Three other people were killed by the roadside. He said the incident occurred about 8:30a.m. when the motorists were busy trying to enter the military convoy for an onward movement and escort to Gamboru-Ngala, which have been a routine exercise since the Army re-opened the road in July this year.https://newtelegraphonline.com/8-killed-15-injured-maiduguri-explosion/
