Gulumba said that three persons died on the spot while one other died later at the Specialist Hospital, Maiduguri, adding that the wounded persons were also referred to the hospital for treatment.
The chairman noted that the state government, in collaboration with the military, police and other security agencies had deployed personnel and constructed trenches to fortify security in the town.
He said: āWe restricted movement from 6 : 30 pm in the town and called on people to abide by the restriction orderā.
Gulumba stressed the readiness of the government to continue with the resettlement exercise, noting that the attack would not affect its implementation.
