The explosions occurred at
about 11:20 a.m. at a crowded Maiduguri commercial area called One-Way. At least 27 people have been confirmed dead
while 45 are said to be injured.
According to witness’s account, there was a first explosion that killed three women before the second one exploded and killed many persons who gathered at the scene of the first blast.
“We cannot say immediately the actual number
of the dead casualties, until we put together the figures later,” Mr. Aji said.
“We have many people that are seriously injured after the two blast.”
“One of them detonated
herself and about three persons – all women – were killed, and minutes after
that when people came round to see what happened, another bomb went off after a
girl screamed and many people, over 30 of them got killed.
