"About 2106 hours 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 road side was damaged by the impact of the explosion," Isuku said.
