Another bomb explosion in a rural market in northeast Nigeria has killed nine persons and wounded at least 14. Boko Haram extremists have been blamed.
According to a resident of the Garkida Village, Abubakar Garba the bomb appeared to have been planted between the sheep market and vegetable stalls.
Other witnesses said it was a suicide bomber.
Garkida is 165 kilometers (100 miles) north of the Adamawa state capital, Yola.
State legislator Jerry Kundisi confirmed the blast killed nine people and injured 14.
It’s the latest in a slew of attacks that have occurred since multinational forces broke up Boko Haram’s so-called Islamic caliphate by driving the insurgents out of all northeastern towns.
On Friday, Boko Haram recaptured the border town of Marte. Nigeria’s military said they would retake the town in due course.
