There was a huge explosion at a crowded market place in Northeast area of Nigeria on Friday by two female suicide bomb attackers, that ultimately killed 30 people as per reported by army people earlier. But now the death count has rose to 45 and 33 have been injured.
"From our updated records we have 45 dead and 33 injured in the twin suicide bomb explosions in Madagali," said Sa'ad Bello of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in Adamawa state.
Military spokesman Badare Akintoye had earlier said "at least 30 people have been killed in the suicide blasts carried out by two female suicide bombers in the market.". But later after rescue operations it was found at least 45 have been dead in the attack.
"The two bombers who (were) disguised as customers, detonated their suicide belts at the section of the market selling grains and second-hand clothing," said Yusuf Muhammad, the chairman of Madagali local government.
According to UN evaluation, "14 million people will need outside help in 2017 because of the ongoing violence, particularly in Borno State, the epicentre of the rebellion."
