From David Hassan, Gombe
Two suicide bombers were said to have killed themselves yesterday in
Gombe when the bomb in their possession exploded living them dead.
According to eyewitness account who spoke to our correspondent,
the incident occurred at 7:30pm at Kasuwa mata when two suicide
bombers on a  KekeNapep ran out of luck and were killed when the bomb they were carrying exploded..
Speaking further, the source revealed that the suicide bombers were
planning to bomb one of the Mosques in the area before they ran out
of luck, but noted that during the blast worshipers were already gathered at
the mosque to pray before the incident occurred.
He said the blast took place few meters away from one of the Joint
Military Task Force (JTF) base in the metropolis.
The source also said that during the blast some of the   Almajiri who
were sitting at the side of the road sustained injuries but added that
casualty would have been high if the suicide bombers had
succeeded in their mission.
He explained that no one could tell exactly whether the suicide
bombers were targeting security agents who were on patrol in the
metropolis, noting that Gombe have suffered series of attacks by
suicide bombers in the recent times.
When our correspondent contacted the Police Public Relations for
clarification it proves abortive as his cell phones were switched off as at the
time of filling this report.
