Six people die when a suicide bomber targets a Borno wedding.

 At least six people have died and fifteen more have been injured in a suicide assault that occurred in Gwoza, Borno.

When the suicide bomber exploded an IED in the town of Gwoza, tragedy struck.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the attack took place in Marrarraban Gwoza, a popular auto park.

Yusuf Lawal, the commissioner of police for Borno State, verified the attack and said a female suicide bomber was responsible.

Lawal stated that he was notified by the Divisional Police Officer in Gwoza that a minimum of six individuals had perished and fifteen others were taken to the hospital. Buba, an eyewitness, told NAN that the suicide bomber had targeted a wedding ceremony, shattering the happiness and festivity of the momentous occasion and scattering loved ones' grief.

Muhammed Kasim, another witness said that the attack happened around 1:30 pm.

"We saw bodies on the ground after hearing a huge explosion sound and seeing dust.

According to him, a number of patients were taken to the hospital and security personnel were called in to clean up the scene.

"I'm not too sure of the exact number of those who were killed because I was not at the exact event,"  speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the subject. "Some of the people are mentioning six, others are saying seven, but the figure is more than what they are mentioning; that is what we suspect," the source added. 

“You know the event was a wedding party, and many visitors and guests were in attendance. That is why I’m telling you that confidently, as my friend.” The JTF source, who said a team of government officials was already at the spot to conduct an investigation, added, “You see why I told you that more than six persons must have been killed because two suicide bombers were on the loose and they detonated two IEDs. “The first explosion was at a wedding venue in Gwoza town. The first bomber was a nursing mother carrying a baby on her back when she stormed the venue at Tashan Mararaba near the Fire Service in Gwoza town and detonated the IED. 

We have learned that the bomber is a young mother who purported to be a wedding guest and was identified as having been born in her early 20s.

"A second bomber, posing as a mourner, detonated another IED at the burial ground shortly after the first incident, killing more people and injuring several more who were rushed to the General Hospital in Gwoza for medical attention." This incident occurred as the mourners were attempting to bury the deceased.

According to reliable reports obtained that the streets of Gwoza were reportedly overrun by military. 
ZagaZola Makama, a counterinsurgency expert, was cited by the media as confirming that the attack happened during a burial, nonetheless.

As people were getting ready for the funeral of the victims slain in an incident a few hours ago, another bomber—disguised as a mourner—detonated another explosive device in Gwoza Local Government Area, the man said in a post on his X account.

“The victims, who were all civilians, were gathered to pay their respects to the deceased when the attack occurred. At least, one additional person died while 16 others were injured and rushed to the hospital.”

Meanwhile, a curfew had been announced in Gwoza by the military to enable it effectively sanitize and patrol the town in a bid to further deter more attacks from any further threat.”
