In Nigeria, ten people were killed and dozens injured in a double suicide-bomb attack in the northeastern city of Maiduguri.
The blasts took place in a market used mainly by internally displaced people (IDPs) from a nearby camp in the Muna Garage area of the Borno state capital.
Ibrahim Liman of the Civilian Joint Taskforce which assists the military against Boko Haram, said, first bomber set off explosives in a sparsely populated part of the market. Moments later, the second bomber set off explosives in the crowded part of the market, where most of the casualties were recorded.
Liman said, 52 people have been injured in the attack. Soldiers have cordoned off the area as the injured were evacuated to hospital for treatment. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
