According to one of the witnesses, Yusuf Adamu, a tricycle attempted to ram into a vehicle that just came out of Borno Motor Garage, the biggest in the town, where vehicles were joined to destinations outside the town.

He said the tricyclist had waited for a vehicle to emerge from the motor park and immediately sped after it but could not catch up with it.

About a kilometer away, it exploded and killed three passers-by on the highway and left another three injured.

“I was at the motor park to board a vehicle when the explosion occurred. The park is near the SSS office and a tricycle was targeting a bus that just left the motor park but triggered off the explosion before it could get to bus. Four people, including the bomber, were killed.”
