“Two people, including the bomber, died in the second attack,” the PPRO said.
Though no group has claimed responsibility for the blasts,Yobe and Borno States have been hardest hit by the Boko Haram insurgency.
Nigeria’s new President Muhammadu Buhari has given assurances that he will subdue the terrorists.He has been mobilizing Nigeria’s neighbours and the Multi-National Joint Task Force,MNJTF has been reinvigorated.
