Reports say that there has been at least one explosion in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital by suspected Boko Haram suicide bomber.
The attack reportedly occurred at the Muna garage in Maiduguri which was just recently attacked by the insurgents.
According to a Facebook user Medan Oukoh, who also posted a video of what was left of the bomber, the attack occurred at around 2.15am, on Wednesday.
The attack comes just a day after the Abubakar Shekau-led faction of the Islamist insurgent group released a video showing the gruesome and cold-blooded murder of three men it claimed were government spies that infiltrated it.
In the 7-minute video, the insurgents also displayed large cache of high-grade military weapons including what appeared to be anti-aircraft missiles and boasted that it remains firmly in a place in the country that the Nigerian Army could not recapture.
But the Nigerian Army has been securing victories over the group as it continued clearance of the terrorist group’s former hideouts in different places in Borno State.
Just on Tuesday, March 14, the Army announced the take over of a logistics base in Shirawa in Kala Balge Local Government Area of the state. The Army rescued 455 hostages and overpowered insurgent fighters in the process.
