4 injured in Maiduguri market explosion
A witness says a bomb injured four people in a market in
Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria, a day
after a suicide bomber killed 16 in a mosque in the same city.
Jafar Aminu, a trader at Gamboru market, said the explosion
on Sunday was near the Nigeria Customs House in Maiduguri, according to AP.
Nigeria's Islamic extremists, Boko Haram, are suspected for
the explosions.
An official of a self-defence group in Maiduguri, Abbas
Gava, said the explosive may have been concealed in some sacks of charcoal.
He said one of the injured lost a hand.
He said Gamboru market has suffered several such attacks in
the last three years.
