At least, 14 people have been reported dead and 38 others seriously injured following a suicide bomb attack at Mandareri-Sambisa ward of Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State. Some residents of the area, who spoke to reporters Sunday night, said the suicide bombers were two in number, who attacked the community few minutes after eight O’clock.
            According to the residents, the area attacked by the two suicide bombers is a crowded area where young men usually gather to while away time during the evening. A political women leader in the area, who identified herself as Hajiya Fatima, said she was at the hospital in Konduga at the time of calling, adding that “people are just dying.” From the background there was so much noise and confusion as people seemed to be calling for helping hands to carry those injured. Hajiya Fatima said, “the situation is very bad as there are not many hands in the hospital to help the injured. We are hoping that the wounded would hold still before morning when help is hopefully going to come. Already Police and some soldiers have arrived the area,” she said. For now there was no official details from either police or the military, but residents have said situation is bad as at the time of this report.
