A suicide bomb attack, believed to be carried out by three people, has
left at least 13 dead and 30 wounded in Chibok, according to media
reports.
"Two veiled girls suspected to be suicide bombers entered Chibok market at about 12:54 P.M. today," a police official informed Reuters.
Thus far, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack although the incident bears a resemblance to tactics utilized by the terrorist group Boko Haram.
Nearly two years ago 200 girls were kidnapped from Chibok, the whereabouts of the girls still remains a mystery.
The Nigerian Army has been able to reclaim control of most of Borno State, where Chibok is located. In response, Boko Haram has resorted to hitting soft targets such as markets or mosques.
