He added that the first blast by suicide bomber took place at a wedding ceremony,  while the second blast occured at the funeral service of victims when another female suicide bomber rushed into the congregation.

He stated that “19 people seriously injured were conveyed to Maiduguri in four  ambulances, while 23 others are waiting for military escort in the Medical Regimental Services (MRS) Clinic.

“I am now coordinating for a chopper tonight. I have mobilised emergency drugs to complement the shortage of drugs in Gwoza.

“The degree of injuries range from abdominal raptures, skull and limb fractures.
