Yobe

"The fuel tanker was coming from Kano and heading to Nguru in Yobe state when the driver lost control of the vehicle."

Twenty-four-hour curfews remain in place in Borno, Jigawa, Kano and Yobe after authorities there accused “hoodlums” of violence.

Likewise, Yobe State Government imposed a curfew on the areas of Potiskum, Gashua, and Nguru, where it says "hoodlums are taking advantage of the protest to vandalise and loot government and private properties".

Governments in the states of Kano, Jigawa, Yobe and Katsina have been ordered not to leave their homes - and therefore not attend protests - on Friday.

The mourners died after their vehicle drove over an explosive device planted by the insurgents in Yobe state.
