It was gathered that some angry eyewitnesses gathered the charred body parts of the suicide bomber and set it ablaze.
An eye witness who pleaded anonymity said he counted seven bodies after the explosion and several more injured.
“Somebody dropped her in a car and zoomed off. She went into the park and detonated the explosive,” the eyewitness said.
The police commissioner of Yobe State, Marcos Danladi told AFP: “There has been an attack on the Damaturu Central Motor Park by a female suicide bomber.
“So far, seven people have been confirmed dead and 32 others injured.”
Security operatives and National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) officials were seen evacuating corpses and injured persons to hospital from the scene.
No one or group has claimed responsibility for the attack but suspicion rests on Boko Haram.
