At least four persons have been confirmed dead and 21 others injured following two separate explosions involving improvised explosive devices (IEDs) suspected to have been planted by ISWAP terrorists in Gujba Local Government Area of Yobe State.
The first incident occurred on Friday morning along the Goniri–Buni Yadi Road, when a commercial pickup van transporting traders to the weekly Buni Yadi market ran over an IED near Bultaram village. The blast fatally injured several passengers; three were confirmed dead upon arrival at the Yobe State Specialist Hospital in Damaturu. Twenty-one others sustained varying degrees of injuries and are currently receiving treatment.
