25 people were reportedly killed while 17 others were
seriously injured after a suspected Boko Haram suicide bomber attacked a Muslim
praying ground in Umurari village on the outskirts of Maiduguri, Borno state
this morning.
Umarari is about 5km south of Maiduguri, the northeast
Nigeria city where Boko Haram insurgency birthed.
An official of the Civilian-JTF, Alhaji Danbatta, who
coordinated the evacuation of victims said 26 other persons were injured in the
blast. The blast is the first to be recorded in Borno state since the last that
killed about 50 persons at an IDP camp in Dikwa, a town 85km away from
Maiduguri.
