The Police Command in Borno on Thursday, confirmed the killing of two persons after a suicide bombing around Muna garage in Maiduguri.

Victor Isuku, the spokesman of the command communicated this in a statement in Maiduguri, Borno capital.

“About 2106hours of Wednesday, an explosion occurred at Muna garage along Gamboru Ngala road Maiduguri.

“Two persons, including the suicide bomber, died on the spot while a Mercedes-Benz car with registration number, AX 571 ABJ, parked by the roadside was damaged by the impact of the explosion,” Isuku said.

He said that normalcy had returned to the area.
