According to Press TV, the officials announced the toll on Friday for the attack which struck the Jimeta Main Market in Adamawa State’s Yola city a day earlier.
An unnamed coordinator with the Nigerian National Emergency Management Agency said “So far, we have 31 dead victims and 38 people in hospital receiving treatment.”
Yola had not witnessed violence in recent years.
Boko Haram terrorists, who have recently pledged allegiance to Takfiri ISIL militants currently operating in Syria and Iraq, usually claim responsibility for such attacks in Nigeria.
The Nigerian terrorist group’s name means “Western education is forbidden.” They control areas of land in northeastern Nigeria.
