A large number of persons are feared dead following separate multiple explosions that rocked Madagali town in the northern part of Adamawa State.

According to Eye-witnesses, three female suicide bombers were responsible for the explosions that occurred on Friday morning at a crowded motor park on the outskirt of the town.

“This morning the suicide bombers blew up themselves after they were intercepted by local vigilantes stationed at the check point and already two vigilantes lost their lives in the process,” a local resident said.

According to Premium Times, the chairman of Madagali Yusuf Muhammad Gulak, told journalists that the casualty figure was yet to be established.

“Presently I am on my way to the town, but I was reliably told that the incident occurred at the entrance of the town where people gather for screening before getting to the town.

‘’You know today is the market day, and probably the suicide bombers might be aiming the market where people do business and other transactions.

‘’I am yet to get the casualty details,’’ the chairman said.

Although volunteers and security men were seen evacuating bodies from the scene, the number of casualties are yet to be determined.
