The attack occurred in the city of Yola, capital of the restive state of Adamawa, where the violence of Islamist extremist group Boko Haram has [displaced](http://www.channelstv.com/2014/11/30/internally-displaced-persons-nigeria-cry-help/ "undefined") tens of thousands of people. Though Boko Haram has not yet claimed responsibility for Tuesday night’s attack, the group has previously executed similar bombings in the city. On Oct. 24, 27 people died in Yola in an explosion during Friday afternoon prayers. Despite the continuing violence, Nigerian authorities insist that Boko Haram is nearing defeat. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4117713/yola-nigeria-market-bombing/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4117713/yola-nigeria-market-bombing/"},"headline":"At Least 32 Dead After Blast in Nigerian Market","datePublished":"2015-11-18T04:24:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:43:24.084Z","description":"No group has so far claimed responsibility, though Boko Haram has attacked the regional capital in the past","url":"https://time.com/4117713/yola-nigeria-market-bombing/","keywords":["Nigeria","Terrorism","Boko Haram"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nash Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/p-nash-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/nigeria/","name":"Nigeria"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4117713/yola-nigeria-market-bombing/","name":"At Least 32 Dead After Blast in Nigerian Market"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Who Is The Leader Of Boko Haram?","description":"Who Is The Leader Of Boko Haram?","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/D9jtIA2G/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-05-08T14:49:42.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/D9jtIA2G.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4117713/yola-nigeria-market-bombing/","duration":"PT2M13S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4117713/yola-nigeria-market-bombing/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
