Suspected members of the Boko Haram sect struck at the central market in
Gombe, capital of Gombe state, around 5pm on Thursday. A resident of
the town said that the incident happened when people were
shopping ahead of the Sallah celebration.
“They planted bombs in a vehicle and another one in a very busy section of the market,” he said.
“The market is one of the biggest in the state and the casualty is certainly going to be high because people were preparing for tomorrow’s Sallah.”
This is the first attack in the state since President MuhammaduBuhari came into power.
