In Nigeria, as a result of an explosion organized by a suicide bombing terrorist in the center of broadcasts of matches of the city of Damature, at least 13 people died, Reuters reports. According to some reports, the terrorist attack has carried away the lives of more than 20 people.

According to eyewitnesses, the tragedy happened after the suicide bomber drove up to the place where in the evening of June 17, the inhabitants of the city gathered to broadcast the World Cup. He arrived in a taxi in which there was explosives. The authorities are suspected of organizing a terrorist attack of members of the Boko Haram group, responsible for the abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls and taking into account several dozen women. In the three states, including Yobu, where an explosion occurred, a state of emergency was introduced.

After the explosion, the police returned several times to the scene to deliver the wounded to the hospitals. "Army trucks and police vehicles went there four times. In each truck there were wounded, and they are all young people or children," one of the doctors said, BBC reports.

A resident of Damature Mohammed Karcare explained that the centers where matches are broadcast are very popular throughout Nigeria and are crowded with fans during large events. Meanwhile, earlier the authorities turned to residents of a number of states with an appeal to refuse to visit the public broadcasts of the World Cup.

On June 12, it was ordered to close the centers of Adamava in connection with the information received about the planned terrorist attack. Over the past few weeks, explosions in the north of Nigeria have taken away lives of at least 40 people, writes The Guardian .
