A bomb blast has once more rocked Maiduguri, capital of Borno State in Nigeria’s troubled North-East.
Reports from the city blamed the dastardly attack on two female suicide bombers who disguised as beggars. At least 20 people are reported to have died in the attacks which happened this afternoon at a bus station near a fish market.
The blasts came just as the anti-Boko Haram war centre officially known as Military Command and Control Centre (MCCC) is being moved to Maiduguri in keeping with the directives of President Muhammadu Buhari.
