Multiple explosions have been heard from the
Kayamala and Dalori areas of Borno State,
prompting panicked residents to flee the areas
on Sunday.
“The sound of bomb explosions is being heard
from Kayamla and Dalori along Bama Road since
around 7:00 am today,” said Kursi Yusuf, an
employee at the nearby University of Maiduguri.
“We are not sure whether the terrorists are
planning to invade the town but the sound
vibrating is devastating.”
Khadija Mustapha, a resident of Dalori Quarters,
said she had fled her home with her three
daughters for fear of being caught in the
explosions. “I don’t know what will happen. The
sound of the explosives is really disturbing,” she
said. “Many of us… have vacated our homes.”
A military officer who did not want to be named
confirmed the series of blasts but said troops
were on top of the situation. “The terrorists will
not have their way,” he said.
Boko Haram has repeatedly attacked Maiduguri;
with at least 10 people killed and 39 others
injured on Thursday night when four suicide
bombers blew themselves up in the city.
Two explosions that ripped through the outskirts
of Abuja on Friday left 18 people dead and 41
wounded, rescue officials said on Saturday, in
the latest bloodshed blamed on Boko Haram
Islamists.
President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the
attacks, as did the US embassy in Abuja.
