Nigeria: Maiduguri multiple blasts kill 55 people, as army recovers two more local governments
Coordinated multiple bomb blasts, separately detonated by three suspected female Boko Haram suicide bombers, Saturday, rocked the Maiduguri Monday Market (MMM), Borno Express Terminus motor park and Baga road fish market, killing 55 people and injuring 86 others within an hour.
This came as the Nigerian Army through a signed statement announced the recovery of two more local governments from the insurgents.
The multiple blasts according to the military and a member of Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), were simultaneously coordinated by insurgents to “target and hit” three populous markets and motor park centres in Maiduguri metropolis.
