Multiple explosions were heard Sunday on the outskirts of Maiduguri, a city in northeastern Nigeria that has repeatedly been attacked by Boko Haram jihadists, according to reports from locals.
“The sound of bomb explosions is being heard from Kayamla and Dalori along Bama Road since around 7:00 am today,” said Kursi Yusuf, an employee at the nearby University of Maiduguri. “We are not sure whether the terrorists are planning to invade the town but the sound vibrating is devastating,” he said to AFP.
This just comes after Saturday’s bomb blasts in Abuja, in which at least 18 people were killed and 41 wounded when multiple blasts rocked the crowded Kuje and Nyanya districts of the city.
