A female suicide bomber has killed herself and seven others at the Damaturu Motor Park. Many others were severely wounded by the blast which shook the vicinity.
The bomber, who disguised as a passenger, and was veiled, detonated the bomb at 9:45am when security men manning the park had not commenced checking.
Witnesses said the bomber was clutching a luggage pretending to be a passenger and gained easy access to the unmanned park.
This explosion is one of the many that have rocked the motor park in the recent past.
Meanwhile, the scene of the explosion has been condoned off by security as public-spirited persons were busy evacuating the corpses and the injured to the General Sani Abacha Specialist hospital.
