KANO: A Suicide bomber blew himself up Thursday in a crowded market in northern Nigeria, killing six people, security sources said, blaming the attack on the Boko Haram jihadist group.
The bomber, who passed himself off as a grain merchant, staged the attack in Amarwa village, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) from Maiduguri, the birthplace of Boko Haram and the capital of Borno State.
The attack came days after a failed Boko Haram attack on Christmas Day in Maiduguri.
?Six people died on the spot from the explosion while 13 others were seriously injured,? Babagana Kolo, a leader of a militia force helping the army in the fight against Boko Haram told AFP.?The injured have been brought to the general hospital here in Maiduguri while the dead have been buried in the village,? he said.
