The New Year did not bring peace to towns in northern Nigeria as a number of attacks left many residents dead or injured.
In Yobe state at least 10 people were killed and others were injured when a suicide bomb went off in a bus. Yobe is one of three Nigerian states put under a state of emergency by President Goodluck Jonathan last year as an insurgency of the Boko Haram.
The city of Gombe was the site of two suspected suicide bombers. The first suicide bomber, a woman, ignored orders by soldiers on guard at the gates to stop for screening. The woman continued forward and soldiers opened fire, hitting the suicide belt causing it to explode. The city saw another attack when a suicide bomber blew himself up at the gates of a church during a New Year’s service, wounding eight people.
