Twin bomb blast rock Maiduguri

The ancient city of Maiduguri, the Borno state capital was on Monday bombed by Boko Haram insurgents.

Although details of the latest incident remain sketchy, it is coming barely 24 hours after
the Nigerian military reported that about 100 people had been killed following an attack by
insurgents on Dalori village in Borno.

The Nigerian troops were also reported to have been battling the suspected Boko Haram terrorists as explosions and gunfire were heard in Maiduguri, the Borno state.

Expressing his frustration on Sunday, President, Muhammadu Buhari lamented the recent spate of bombings in the country, stating that the insurgents were simply out
to embarrass his administration.

He therefore asked Nigerians to remain calm and continue to be security conscious in the
wake of the recent attacks by the terrorists.
