The Borno State Commissioner of Police, Damian Chukwu, confirmed to that a suicide bomber tried to enter Muna Garage, a usually crowded bus station, but later detonated the explosive at the gate, killing himself.
The third blast took place a few meters away, near the city’s entrance, where security personnel mounted a check post.
