Sucide Bombing in Yobe state: Female Bomber at Work Once Again

It was reported that a female suicide bomber denoted a bomb at a market in Potiskum, Yobe state on Sunday (yesterday) killing herself and four others in the process, with several others getting injured. The incident took place at a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) market in Potiskum, Yobe State. PUNCH newspaper reported that five people were killed and about 46 were injured. A mobile phone seller at the market told one of the PUNCH correspondents that the female suicide bomber hit the entrance to the GSM market at around 1.15 pm.

Those who sustained injuries were taken to the General Hospital at Potiskum. Some were reported to have minor injuries while others are hanging to life. Increase in death role was however not ruled out since injuries sustained by some were serious and could require a bigger hospital outside Yobe state. Now that suicide bombing has become rampant in that town, my wish is that the people of Potiskum would soon enjoy the peace it once enjoyed.

I just wonder how women who are supposed to be of virtues in the community have been brainwashed immensely to the point of being turned into an instrument of mass destruction. We can only hope that in the coming weeks, the Nigerian military together with the multi National Joint Task Force should be able reduce the activities of these radicals and save innocent lives. God bless Nigeria!
