Nigeria Bombings Kill More Than 50 People In City Of Maiduguri -- Bloomberg
More than 50 people died in explosions yesterday at a crowded marketplace in the Nigerian city of Maiduguri, in bombings suspected to have been carried out by Islamist terrorists.
Locals and anti-insurgent vigilante group members counted 51 bodies after explosions in the Ajilari area of the northeastern city, Modu Kolo, a 33-year-old resident, said by phone today. The death toll may be higher, he said. The National Emergency Management Agency said 56 people were taken to the hospital, though the number killed in the two blasts couldn’t be confirmed yet, said Mohammed Kanar, NEMA’s northeast coordinator.
“It was at a very crowded area with shops and small businesses,” Kanar said by phone from Maiduguri today. “It’s a very, very horrible situation.”
