Scores Feared Dead As Multiple Explosions Rock Mosque & Viewing Centre In Borno by klem93(m): 10:21pm On Sep 20, 2015
Four separate explosions rocked Ngommari Area near Maiduguri Airport, within 25 minutes have killed several people in the area leaving many others with various degrees of injury.
The first explosion which occured around 7:35 pm at Ajilari cross in Ngomari ward was said to have left scores dead and many injured.
An eye witness account said they heard a loud noise that shook everywhere followed by lightening and thick smoke that sent people running toward different directions.

Alhaji Bukar Modu said further, "Less than 10 minutes later, at exactly 7:43 pm another one exploded not too far from the place. That one did not do much damage because people were at the scene of the first one. The third one exploded few minutes later in a mosque when people were praying. I saw people scattered in the mosque. It was terryfying. I could not stay behind to see what happened. The highest death (toll) might be the one in the mosque.
"I was running toward home when the last one exploded with a bang. I do not have details about that one. But all the blasts took place not far from each other," he said.
A commercial vehicle driver who resides in the Ngommari area, Alhaji Tijjani Bana, said the forth explosion occured at the gate of a viewing center killing about five people including children selling satched water.
A community leader in the area, who pleaded annonymity for fear of being attacked said it might be a Boko Haram attack aimed at scaring people from a successful Sallah celebration.
Efforts to reach the military and the police authorities for comment were not successful, but rescue operation has since commenced. http://www.maxgist.com/2015/09/breaking-scores-feared-dead-as-multiple.html
