Reports from Biu Local Government Area of Borno State, on Friday, indicated that two persons have been arrested in connection with the suicide bomb attack at main market in the area.

The suspects are said to have made startling revelations in their confessions which were recorded before they were handed over to security operatives who had saved them from lynching.

After the blast, the Emir of Biu, Alhaji Umar Mustapha, had called for prayers for those behind the act to be unmasked.

According to a report, one of the suspected sponsors of the attack, who was released after being questioned by security operatives, is currently on the run.
