Nigeria: Twin blasts kill at least 35 people in Maiduguri, blamed Boko Haram
At least 35 people were killed following two explosions in a crowded neighbourhood of Nigeria’s restless northeastern city of Maiduguri, a stronghold of Boko Haram Islamists, police said Sunday.
“We are still counting. So far we have counted 35 bodies. Our men are still working with rescue workers at the scene,” Borno state police commissioner Lawal Tanko told AFP.
He did not give further details on the attack which occurred on Saturday in the city’s Gomari district.
