Bomb Blast Rocks North Eastern City Of Maiduguri

A bomb blast has reportedly occurred in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital in north east Nigeria.

In the last week of February, at least 15 persons died and 53 others were injured after a suicide bomber detonated a bomb at the Tashar Dan-Borno Motor Park in Potiskum town, Yobe State.

In the heat of the confusion, an eyewitness said a female suicide bomber, who carried out the attack, alighted from a tricycle opposite the Motor Park and rushed towards a loaded bus when the explosive went off.

However, the Nigerian police said the suicide bomber was a man, not a teenage girl as reported by some eyewitnesses.
