Maiduguri blasts: at least 23 dead as suspected suicides rock Nigeria’s northeast
At least 23 people were killed and about 108 wounded in suspected suicide-bomb attacks in Maiduguri, hitting a post office, Monday Market, University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and Kaleri; police say preliminary investigations point to suicide attackers, with security tightened as investigators probe the incident. Analysts say the strikes bear the hallmarks of Boko Haram/ISWAP activity, underscoring ongoing security challenges in Nigeria’s insurgency-hit northeast.
