Three separate bombings rocked the northeast Nigeria’s city of Maiduguri on Saturday killing at least 47 people, including children, and wounding an additional 50 people, witnesses told AFP as reported by Daily Mail.
“The death toll has risen to 47, with at least 50 others injured. The dead include women and children,” said Abubakar Gamandi, head of the Borno state fisherman’s union who witnessed the first attack at the Baga market.
These attacks have been blamed on the Nigerian Islamist militants ‘Boko Haram‘ who have relentlessly attacked the city of Maiduguri throughout their six-year insurgency that has led to the loss of over 13,000 lives.
