Three bomb explosions kill at least 33 in Maiduguri

THREE bombings have rocked separate targets in northeast Nigeria’s largest city of Maiduguri, killing at least 33 people, witnesses and a local official say.
THE first attack by a female suicide bomber late on Saturday morning killed 18 people at the Baga fish market, and another 15 were killed about an hour later at the Monday Market, said fisherman’s union boss Abubakar Gamandi, in an account supported by other witnesses and a health worker.
Borno state Justice Commissioner Kaka Shehu confirmed those two blasts and said a third bombing hit the busy Borno Express bus station just after 1pm.
