November 2015 Yola bombing
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.
