tricycle has killed three persons and injured
three others on Saturday morning in
Maiduguri, Borno State, witnesses have
said.
According to one of the witnesses, Yusuf
Adamu, the explosion occurred at
about 7.10am when motor parks in the
town were full of activities as travelers get
to join commuter buses out of town.
Adamu said 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.
Adamu, who claimed he was near the scene
of the incident, 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.
He said: "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."
