"Three of them detonated the IEDs killing themselves only, while the fourth person killed herself and three others.

"Seven other persons were maimed and have been evacuated to the hospital. Security has also been beefed up in the area and all around Maiduguri Metropolis." Okon also revealed that there was a failed suicide kaboom in Bama.

He said: "Also, yesterday (Thursday) being 03/05/18 in Bama, a suicide bomber was sighted by security agents and was promptly neutralized. No casualty was recorded."
