| Maiduguri on Blast |
Borno
state capital Maiduguri, has come
under attack from belligerent sect known to be members of the contumacious Boko
Haram sect.
Two thunderous explosions, suspected
to be from detonated bombs, were heard in the city at about 6:15 p.m.
The blast occurred at an area called
Ngomari
area of the capital.
It cannot be ascertained immediately
if the blast was targeted at civilians.
No one could also say if there are
casualties yet..
The Boko Haram sect has in the past
months intensified attacks on the northeast states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe,
which are under emergency rule
It has been attacking security and
military installations, including barracks and airbases at will. It has also
been pummeling schools, towns and villages unchallenged and ransacking
highways.
This week, it slaughtered more than
29 pupils at a government boarding school in Yobe.
As the litany of atrocities
lengthened, President
Goodluck Jonathan claimed the
Nigerian government is winning the war against the insurgency.
God will deiver this nation from political belligerency arising from the so called contumacious being( Boko Haram ).
