Kano - Eighteen people were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a crowded bus station in northeast Nigeria on Thursday, while a second bomber was shot dead before he could detonate his explosives, witnesses told AFP.
Babagana Kyari, a civilian vigilante, said "at least 18 people, including three women, died... and several others were injured" in an account supported by local resident Ali Dauda.
The attack happened after two men arrived the Tashar Gandu motor park on the edge of the town in Borno state, where one detonated his explosives among passengers and vendors, onlookers said.
