According to local authorities, the incident occurred when an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated in the community, causing injuries to six residents. The victims were immediately rushed to a nearby medical facility, where they are currently receiving treatment.
Security sources believe the attack may be linked to Boko Haram insurgents, who have carried out similar attacks in parts of the North-East in recent years. Although no group has officially claimed responsibility, the method and location of the blast point to the extremist group.
Following the explosion, security operatives were deployed to the area to secure the community and prevent further attacks. Residents have been advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious objects or movements to security agencies.
Investigations are ongoing as authorities work to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the blast and identify those responsible.
