Two persons have died in Gombe, capital of Gombe State, after an explosive device
reportedly went off prematurely. According to a top security source in the state, the dead
were a soldier and the suicide bomber a woman who was “scattered” by the blast.
If confirmed, it will be the first recorded case of a female suicide-bomber in Nigeria. “The
explosion occurred at about 11am along Military Quarter Guard along Biu Road in
Gombe,” the source said. “The woman had the explosive in her bag, but the thing went off
prematurely. She was scattered by the explosion. Unluckily, she got a soldier as well.”
The source further told TheCable that although the woman hadn’t arrived her destination when the bomb went off, chances
were high that the military quarters was her target.
