At least 33 dead in northeast Nigeria bomb attacks

Borno state Justice Commissioner Kaka Shehu confirms two blasts and says a third bombing hit the busy Borno Express bus station

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria – Three bombings rocked separate targets in northeast Nigeria’s largest city of Maiduguri on Saturday, March 7, killing at least 33 people, witnesses and a local official told AFP.

The first attack by a female suicide bomber at roughly 11:20am (1020 GMT) 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.
