The Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police Victor Isuku, confirmed this in a statement sent to reporters in Maiduguri.
"At about 18:13hrs, four suicide bombers, two males and two females, infiltrated Muna Gari Community in Konduga LGA, and detonated IEDs strapped to their bodies at different locations.
"The first explosion occurred at a prayer ground, while the other explosions occurred thereafter, all within the community. A total of 18 persons including the four suicide bombers, died in the multiple explosions.
"While 29 others sustained various degrees of injuries and were rushed to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital/State Specialist Hospital for medical attention. Police patrol /EOD teams promptly mobilized to the scene to sanitize and render the area safe," the statement concluded.
