“There were five people killed in the explosion, plus the bomber, making six,” mayor Narcisse Muteba Kashale told Reuters news agency on Saturday.
Congo’s government spokesman Patrick Muyaya said on Twitter the explosion had indeed been caused by a suicide bomber, and that security forces were investigating the incident.
