According to a report by Reuters, a suicide bomb attack occurred in the town of Potiskum, Yobe State in north eastern Nigeria today when the driver drove a car packed with explosives into a busy bus station killing four people and injuring 35, police said.
Although, the attack bears the hand-prints of Islamist extremist group ‘Boko Haram‘, there has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
“The information I have is that the car was pretending to be scouting for passengers,”…”Five people including the bomber were killed in the attack with about 35 others receiving treatment for various injuries at Potiskum General Hospital,” Yobe state police commissioner Danladi Marcus told Reuters by telephone.
