The desperation of the heartless Boko Haram sect is obvious. Scores were ​feared ​killed ​on Monday when two female suicide bombers attacked a busy motor park in Madagali town of Adamawa State.

A witness, Danladi Buba, said the two female suicide bombers detonated bombs at a mini market near a motor park today, killing many people.

Mr Buba who saw it happen, said “about 30 people were killed with 16 others injured.”

Confirming the unfortunate incident, the Brigade Commander of 28 Task Force Brigade, Mubi, Victor Ezugwu, said the casualty figure was yet to be established.

“Two female suicide bombers struck at a garage in Madagali and detonated their devices, and we lost some beloved country men,” Mr. Ezugwu, a brigadier-general, said.

He said the injured had been taken to hospital while the military had cordoned off the area. The situation had been brought under control.
