According to a local official, it is the most deadly attack carried out by the Islamist militant group in the area in recent times.
Reuters reports that two suicide bombers struck the Bodo central market while others hit the town’s main entrance and exit points.
“There was a quadruple suicide bombing in the village of Bodo this morning. There are around 25 deaths and several wounded,” the official said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the recent attacks yet.
Monday’s bombing was not the first time when the town of Bodo has been targeted.
In December, two female suicide bombers blew themselves up at the town’s entrance. Officials said that the terrorists were trying to enter the market but were stopped by local residents. No others were injured in that incident.
