caught trying to set up the explosive device very close to the market
at about 3.30pm on Thursday.
The youth and traders around the area "because they were alien to such
incident, were not too sure what the woman was trying do, but they
accosted her, telling her to carry what she dropped.
"It was during the argument that the explosive device detonated and
killed five persons, including the woman."

Shaffa said, ten other persons were injured in the explosion,
stressing that "the ten persons were taken to the Biu General Hospital
to receive treatment,"
He revealed that though the market was visited by security agents
almost immediately after the explosion to ascertain the level of
destruction, things were back to normal as people, who were initially
apprehensive, started going about their normal activities.
A source at the hospital, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to
our correspondent, confirmed that 10 persons were brought to the
hospital with different degrees of injuries.
Several attempts to get the Police Public Relations Officer of the
state command, Gideon Jibrin, failed as his phone did not go through.
