Another Boko Haram bomb has hit a cattle market in Nigeria’s northeastern state of Borno, with as many as 16 people dead, hospital and military sources said.
The attack happened late on Saturday.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which followed two weekendbombings that killed at least 30 people and also appeared to be the work of Boko Haram.
At about 4:30 p.m. on Saturday they broughtcasualties from the blast scene …16 bodies were deposited with 24 injured,” Lawal Kawu, a paramedic at the teachinghospital in Maiduguri, told Reuters.
He said some of the injured were also in critical condition.
Zakariya Shettima, who lives nearby and arrived on the scene after the blast in the small community of Musari, on the outskirts of Maiduguri city, said he saw blood and body parts and that it had left a crater and destroyed several shops in the market.
