The female suicide bombers responsible for the killing of more than 30 people in Borno State on Saturday were imported from another state, the House of Representatives has claimed.
Osun Defender reports that a suicide bomb attack took place in Gwoza LGA in Borno, claiming over 30 lives, and injuring others.
The lawmakers made the declaration in a resolution after considering a motion of urgent national importance by the member representing Gwoza/Chibok/Damboa federal constituency, Ahmed Usman Jaha, on Tuesday.

The lawmaker also informed the house that more than 180 people were critically injured and currently receiving treatment in various hospitals in the state.
