According to eye witnesses at the Dalori check point area of the road,another bomb had exploded about five kilometres from Dalori during which the suicide bombers allegedly threw an improvised bomb into a vehicle of a commuter killing three civilians inside another vehicle.
“It is the same vehicle that deliberately drove into the police vehicle killing all five policemen inside the patrol vehicle. The Policemen had accosted the vehicle for normal stop and search which has been going on since last week’s attack on Giwa barracks by the insurgents but the suicide bombers rather drove their vehicle into the police while simultaneously throwing an IDI bomb into their vehicle.
