The police in Borno State yesterday confirmed the death of two suicide bombers around Muna garage in Maiduguri, the state capital.
Police spokesman Victor Isuku said in a statement in Maiduguri: “About 21:06 hours on Wednesday, an explosion occurred at Muna garage on the Gamboru-Ngala road in Maiduguri.
“Two persons died on the spot while a Mercedes Benz (AX 571 ABJ) was damaged,” Isuku said.
He said normalcy had returned to the area.
