The Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) armed group has claimed responsibility for an explosion that it said killed or injured 30 people at a market where alcohol was sold in Nigeria’s Taraba state, marking an expansion of the area where the ISIL affiliate operates in the country.
The explosion took place on Tuesday in the rural town of Iware and local police initially said three people were killed and 19 injured.
They could not immediately be reached on Thursday to comment on the ISWAP claim or casualty count. (Aljazeera)
