Multiple explosions: Many feared dead as 3 suicide bombers attack Adamawa

Eye-witnesses said the explosions which occurred on Friday morning, took place at a crowded motor park on the outskirt of the town. Madagali, is 300 km from Yola, the state capital.

Although volunteers and security men were seen evacuating bodies from the scene, the number of casualties are yet to be determined.
