An earlier report by Sahara Reporters revealed 4 people died in the attack that was allegedly foiled by security operatives stationed at the area.

A truck conveying an explosive device and assumable a suicide bomber was destroyed in the explosion that left dead bodies littering the tarred road.

According to preliminary report, a pick up van with nine persons on board emerged from a bush path to join the road to Gubio town. It exploded killing all the persons on board.
