Two female teenagers, kitted with explosive devises hidden under their hijab (islamic female robe of modesty) blew up themselves at a crowded market in Potiskum town of Yobe state and eight persons including themselves and a tricycle rider who was to drop them there.
It was not certain if the commercial tricycle rider was a party of just an unfortunate victim like the five other killed victims as well as over 40 that seriously go injured.
The suicide bombing came barely 24 hours after a young boy caused the dead of two police men in the same town.
The policemen on road checking point got suspicious of a boy in his early teenage driving a volkswagen Gold salon when he told them he was driving to Kano state in northwest Nigeria a distance of about 300km.
A poilce source the officers apprehended him and took him and the car to the Potiskum town main police station where he was detained while the two officer were asked to search the car to be sure it was not wired with explosives or carrying anything dangerous.
Minutes after the two officers commenced search of the car, the boy (or someone else) detonated a bomb that blew up the car and the two police men.
Fear now mounts in both Yobe and Borno state giving the prevalence of the suicide bombing.
