Multiple bomb explosions have rocked Biu, a town in Borno State today 17th of February. Though details of the explosions remained sketchy as the extent of damage and human casualties could not be ascertained as of the time of filing this report.
The blasts which occurred one after the other were heard echoing all over the town three times, witnesses said.
If we would not forget, last week, two teenage girls sneaked into the town’s central market, where they detonated a bomb that killed eight persons.
A member of youth vigilance group, who spoke on condition of anonymity on telephone to a reporter said the incident happened at Yamarkumi along the Maiduguri Road today.
Yamarkumi is a neighbourhood along the road that leads to Maiduguri.
An eye witness, Isah said the incident occurred at about noon.
He insisted that it was massive and might have led to huge human casualties.
"There were three explosions in Yamarkumi here in Biu town. Many people have been affected; the casualty figure from what we are seeing now have surpassed that of the market suicide bombing that occurred on Thursday. Ambulances are rushing in and out for now. We will give details later,” he said.
Biu township, which is about 185km from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, has in recent times witnessed attempts by insurgents to take over the town.
