A female suicide bomber detonated an IED at a crowded food joint in Konduga, Borno State, killing 24 and injuring many more. The attack, confirmed by police, has reignited deep fears across a region still scarred by insurgency.
- A suicide bomber struck Friday night at a busy food spot.
- 24 confirmed dead; several others wounded.
- Only the attacker’s head was found after the blast.
- Joint police, military, CJTF, and hunters responded.
- No additional explosives were found.
- Victims taken to UMTH; security tightened across Konduga.
The return of such brutal tactics to daily civilian life tells its own story. A simple food joint, where people gather for warmth and survival, became the stage for another blood-soaked message. That the bomber was female only deepens the shock. This wasn’t just a breach of security. It was a violation of normalcy.
Konduga bleeds again. And as residents bury their dead and relive familiar pain, the lesson remains the same: Nigeria’s war against terror is far from over, and the line between vigilance and despair is wearing thin.
