Six persons were on Sunday killed in a fresh suicide
bomb attack in Potiskum, Yobe State, residents of the
town have said.
Potiskum, in recent times, have been at the receiving
end of such attacks which have claimed several lives.
Though no one has claimed responsibility for the
attacks, they are believed to have been carried out by
members of the radical Islamic sect, Boko Haram.
Witnesses said the explosions occurred around 1:20pm
on Sunday, in front of the residence of the People’s
Democratic Party candidate for the Potiskum/Nangere
federal constituency in Yobe State, Sabo Garbu,
opposite the Federal Government College in the town.
A witness, Ali, said the bomber came to the residence of
the politician and detonated the explosives just in front
of his house.
He said he was hosting a lot of party supporters at the
time.
He said the explosive killed six persons on the spot with
several others sustaining injuries.
Police are yet to confirm the incident but an hospital
authority, who pleaded anonymity, said six corpses
where brought to the hospital.
