On 17 November 2015, a suicide bombing occurred at a vegetable market in Yola, Adamawa State, eastern Nigeria. [1] Over 30 people were killed and 80 others injured as traders in the city were closing for the day. [1]
Jihadist group Boko Haram - whose insurgency began in 2009 and peaked in the mid-2010s - are suspected of being the perpetrators of this attack and many others in Adamawa State. [1] [2] These include a bombing at an internally displaced persons camp in Yola in September 2015, [2] [1] as well as those in Mubi in 2012, 2014, 2017 and 2018.
