According to reports, the two suicide bombers pretended to be customers at the busy market before detonating their suicide belts.

It was further learnt that the unfortunate incident precisely took place at the section of the market selling grain and second-hand clothing.

At the moment, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but fingers are pointing to the Boko Haram group, which took over the town for months before the Nigerian troops reclaimed it last year.
