BREAKING: Multiple bomb explosions hit Maiduguri
Multiple bomb explosions have been reported across Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, on Monday evening.
Early reports said Improvised Explosives Device (IEDs) planted by terrorists went off at the gate of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH), Monday Market Roundabout and Elkanemi areas.
The first explosion was reportedly heard around 7pm, shortly after Muslims broke their fast.
It is unclear if there were any casualties from the incident which occurred hours after terrorists attacked a military location in Ajilari, on the outskirt of Maiduguri, where they burnt the place and carted away a military patrol vehicle.
However, the troops successfully repelled the attack and killed some of the terrorists as many fled the scene with bullet wounds.
