Multiple Blasts in Northern Nigerian City of Maiduguri Injure Five People

Multiple blasts in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri wounded five people in an attack that appeared to target security officials, said Lieutenant Mohammed Abdullahi, a military spokesman.

Three policemen and two soldiers were wounded after the explosions that went off at the Bolori police station, as well as the Lagos Street and Pompomari areas of the city, Abdullahi said by phone today.

Emergency workers are mobilizing help for victims, Yushau Shuaib, a spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency said today by phone from Abuja, the capital.

In a separate incident, gunmen in the city suspected to be Islamic militants fought with troops yesterday, leaving “several people” wounded, Abdullahi said. He declined to give further details.

Authorities in Nigeria’s north have blamed a radical Islamic sect, Boko Haram, which draws inspiration from Afghanistan’s Taliban movement, for a spate of bomb attacks and killings targeting government officials and the security forces since last year.

(Not my words)

They've not seen "nothing" yet.

The radicalised form of Islam has nothing to offer but blood, tears and death.

If the leaders of the North do not rise up to the occasion and nip this thing in the bud, very soon, they will be consumed in the name of the "Most Merciful" Allah.

Our intelligence agencies need to step up their game and prevent these bomb blasts.

do we have such things as intelligence agencies in Nigeria

Something has to be done and done urgently too

We should just split this country into North and South. Just like North and South Korea.
Let see if they are going to be using their groundnut and corn money to buy gun to kill people.
Those desert rats have access to our oil money, that’s why they are blowing it.
No wonder America is ruthless.
They say they don’t want anything western – They should stop using their cars, phones and electricity. At least electricity was not discovered in Saudi Arabia. And the first locomotive machine was not built in Iran either.
Their religion self, he get as eh be

Oh not again!

, Even the guns and bombs that they are using were invented courtesy of Western education! Lord have mercy over this Land and touch the hearts of men, amen.

What is the governor/presidency doing about this

maid again?? these pple no dey tire??

oh dear!!

PLEASE PEOPLE, THESE GUYS ARE JUST HIDDING UNGER THE COVER OF ISLAM, ISLAM DOES NOT IN ANY WAY ENCOURAGE THIS, PLEASE DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ISLAM.

I don't know the type of mentality these people are displaying with those bombs.

whether u like it or not! This country is falling apart.

^^^I don't like it

these f.u.c.king people and their forking religion. what can we do with them

Always wonder how we got lumped with barbarians.

these f.u.c.king people and their forking religion. what can we do with them

declare state of emmergency, or they should be seperated from nigeria so that they will go with there wahala,

where are these terrorists coming from?

what are they turning this state to,a testing ground or what?

babaearly:

where are these terrorists coming from?

^^^ Answer: Niger, Chad, Afghanistan, etc, as well as the inexhaustible supply of homegrown almajiri footsoldiers. All these in some cases, are being hired and used by the embittered core northern political/ruling class that feel they've been sidelined from the gravytrain and hence want to make the country ungovernable for those southern 'twats' .

MADuguri

This require a national attention,their(nothern elders) elder statemen knows this babarians and should call them to order otherwise a military action should be sanctioned against them.We can't continue leaving in fear,may God forgive me but I hate anything that has to do with the nothern part of this country;regards to the learned notherners who is not part of this though.

My problem with them is that they do not have a course they are fighting for.Militancy in south-south is the outcome of the maginalisation of that region, but notherners ? The fools want anything western-like to be eradicated and they are not wrapping themselves in leaves or animal skin rather they are wearing jeans,designers shirts and the rest. If I become the president of this country,more prison will be built and large chunk of money will be invested into psychatric homes because most of this mofos are definitely not right in the head. I hear they smell suck-away to get high,imagine that   .

Our new government has a lot of work to do,I just hope they are ready for the task ahead of them.And as for GEJ,am still watching! God bless Nigeria.

why?

what is bad is bad.

The problem with these terrorist boko haram Nigeria government didn't deal with them from way back and now things have gone out of hand president Jonathan i don't think he can fix this country he looks weak acts weak

these northerners again, God i miss OBJ, he'll have dealt with them seriously,

it's so obvious, even GEJ's fanatics know he is too weak, only good at trading blames, its either Buhari today or Atiku tomorrow. NL, people are dying, Nigerians are prisoners in their own country,enslaved without choice, without rights to move freely, yet we have a government, a commander in chief of the armed forces. a president who unlike his predecessor is not courageous enough to tell Nigerians and the world that the process that brought him to power was a scandal and a mirage. we have become the headline for news cable stations globally, always for the wrong reasons. This is not a breath of fresh air, it's polluted air. it really hurts.

this Aboki's wif their animalistic behaviour but it's not their fault , i blame Lord Lugard for pathing them Among Nigerians
