A female suicide bomber blew herself up on Sunday at a mobile phone
market in northeast Nigeria, killing several people, witnesses said.
The attack happened in the town of Azare in Bauchi state, which neighbours the three states worst hit by attacks from Boko Haram Islamists.
“A suicide bomber came into the market as it was closing and blew herself up in the middle of all the merchants and their customers,” a witness said.
“I saw at least eight dead and lots of others wounded,” another witness, Alyu Habib, told AFP.

Although information is still sketchy, it appears that the bomb went off on Sunday evening.
Incidentally, this is the third bomb attack on the town in recent time. An explosion last week left 13 people dead.
The branch of First Bank of Nigeria Plc in the town was bombed on November 7, while people were queuing up to withdraw money from an ATM.
