23 Confirmed Dead, 146 Injured In Maiduguri Explosions by iwaeda(op): 7:02am On Mar 17

At least 23 persons were killed while 146 others sustained injuries in the multiple explosions that rocked Maiduguri, Borno State Capital, on Monday night.

The blasts occurred at the entrance gate of University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH), Monday Market and Post Office areas of the ancient city.

Surajo Abdullahi, a Zonal Coordinator at NEMA, who confirmed the figures to Daily Trust, said 169 victims had been evacuated to three hospitals in Maiduguri.

“108 are currently receiving treatment at University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH), 20 at Umaru Shehu hospital, and 17 at Maiduguri Specialist hospital,” he said.

Many residents said the city, once known for daily shootings and bombings, had witnessed relative peace for many years.

“Everything has now returned fresh – the fear, and the gory scenes. These multiple blasts have indicated a significant surge in violence in a city that has been peaceful over the years,” he said

The last major attack was 2021, when Boko Haram fighters fired mortars that killed at least 10 people in the city, followed by the suicide bomb attack at a mosque in Gambarou market.

While advising residents to remain calm but vigilant, the Borno State Police command said its EOD (Explosive Ordinance Department) had been deployed to the scene for assessment.

According to the spokesman of the command, ASP Nahum Kenneth Daso, joint security operatives and emergency responders were on top of the situation.

Residents were about to get over Sunday night attack on military location at Ajilari, an outskirt of Maiduguri, when the latest incident occurred.

And this is the Nigeria of some people's dreams who currently support Tinubu, don't be surprised, this is what some of them want and they are happy about it.

May their souls rest in peace, quick recovery to the injured and condolences to the bereaved and may peace be restored to the affected community.

They will use the money collected from the government from negotiations, rehabilitation and ransom to procure weapons and explosives to explode government facilities. Let the government continue to empower them

the same reason they asked Jonathan to resign.
meanwhile tinubu and his minions are busy celebrating who decamps to the APC or not
The honourable thing for tinubu to do for his incompetency is to resign.

This is sad, but why do they protest against the US Iran war instead of the insecurities in that north?

Gumi, patami and most northern Muslims will never blink over this but will rather protest and shed tears over happenings in faraway Iran. People with highest level of hypocrisy and stupidity!

Even with a Boko Haram member as VP, these evil men are still not satisfied.
