A source told TheCable that the incident occurred around 1pm. “It was a bloody attack by a female suicide bomber and apart from the over 40 people who were killed, many sustained injuries,” he said. “I don’t know the number of those injured but rescue workers have taken over the market.” Umar Kidda, a member of a civilian viligante group, told Reuters that more than “47 dead persons have been removed from the market”.

Female Suicide Bomber, Soldier Die as Bomb Explodes at Gombe Army Barracks

A female suicide bomber and one soldier died while another soldier was wounded when a bomb exploded at a Nigerian army barracks in Gombe, on Sunday.

Director of Defence Information, Major-General Chris Olukolade, confirmed that a bomb exploded at the barracks on Sunday.

Olukolade, who told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in a telephone interview from Abuja, on Sunday, however, said normal activities had, thereafter, been ongoing at the barracks.

“Intelligence deduced from credible information earlier received on this plot confirms the vigilance of some members of the public,” Olukolade said.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Fwaje Atahiri, had earlier told NAN that he heard of the incident but did not have details.

NAN gathered that the female bomber, riding on a motorcycle and on approaching the quarter-guard of the 301 Battalion, disembarked and hugged a soldier, a development that led to the explosion, killing both of them.

The source said the explosion also injured other soldiers, who were rushed to the military hospital for treatment.

Immediately after the explosion, soldiers cordoned off the road leading to the barracks, while shops and other business centres were hurriedly closed by their owners.

More than 71 People Confirmed Dead, Hundreds Injured Aftermath of Abuja (Nyanya) Bomb Blast

Abuja:
A blast at a Bus Station in Nyanya, an outskirt of the Nigerian capital Abuja during a Monday morning rush hour killed at least 71 people and 140 injured.

A Reuters cameraman saw 20 bodies at the depot at Nyanyan bridge, around 8 km (5 miles) south of Abuja, and two witnesses said another 15 had already been removed by the emergency services.

"I was waiting to get on a bus when I heard a deafening explosion then smoke. People were running around in panic," said Mimi Daniels, who works in Abuja. Another blast followed, she said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility but suspicion is likely to fall on Islamist militant group Boko Haram. The Islamists have been waging an increasingly bloody insurgency in the northeast.

Suspected Islamist militants killed at least 60 people in an attack on a village in northeast Nigeria late last week. Eight people were killed in a separate attack at a teacher training college, witnesses said.
