Another Twin Blast Rocks Maiduguri Market; Dozens Feared Killed by Franchise21(m): 1:21pm On Dec 01, 2014
Many persons are feared killed in Maiduguri, the Borno
State capital, Monday after two explosions went off at the
Maiduguri main market, where two suicide bombers last
week detonated deadly explosives, killing themselves and
several other people.
The explosions sounded almost one after the other at about
11:20 am.
A witness, Abba Ibrahim, who works as a security guard at
a government hospital near the market, told journalists
that the thunderous blasts caused several traders to
scamper to safety.
“As it is now, people are running for dear lives, so one
cannot confirm to you the extent of damage, but the two
blasts we just heard were too loud that it could cause more
damage than the ones of last week,” he said.
A trader, Dauda Bala, who spoke with journalists on phone
said, “The security and other aid workers are trying to
evacuate the dead and injured persons from the scene of
the explosion…I can’t say how many were killed or injured
but I have seen very many victims dripping with blood,
others with parts of their bodies dismembered by the
blasts”.
Another witness at the market, who gave his name as
Mallam Bashir, said the explosions were caused by two
suspected female suicide bombers.
“The explosions occurred at the area where fowls are being
sold inside the market, very close to the First Bank branch.
Those close enough to the place said it was two girls that
came into the market with the bomb,” said Mr. Bashir, a
used cloth vendor.
The spokesperson of the Borno State Command of the
Nigeria Police, Gideon Jubrin, confirmed the incident but
said details of the incidents were still sketchy.
“Of course we heard the explosions somewhere in town
but it will be too early now to say what actually happened
and what damage was caused by the explosion until much
later,” he said.
