A young suicide bomber yesterday blew up herself and five others when the explosive devices strapped to her body detonated in a market in Potiskum, Yobe State witnesses said.
Nineteen others who sustained various degrees of injury were taken to hospital after the blast, a local vigilante leader, Bubalawan told newsmen.
