A bomb exploded in a crowded bus station in Damaturu, the capital of Yobe State, on Sunday, causing casualties in a region that has been frequently attacked by Islamist militants, witnesses said.

Witness Adamu Muhammad said he heard a loud blast and the people at the Damaturu’s central motor park “descended into panic.”

He said there were many casualties, though he did not know how many. The Nigerian military was not immediately available for comment. No one claimed the attack, which bore the hallmarks of Islamist insurgent group Boko Haram.

On Saturday, heavily armed Boko Haram militants attacked and attempted to overrun the northeastern Nigerian city of Gombe but were later repelled, reports Reuters.

Boko Haram’s violent uprising for an Islamic state has killed thousands, destabilized the northeast of Africa’s biggest economy and is increasingly doing the same to neighbors Cameroon, Chad and Niger. They are now fighting back in a regional effort to crush the militant group.

The insurgency has also cast doubt over the leadership of President Goodluck Jonathan, who is seen as not having done enough to contain it or protect civilians, hundreds of whom have been kidnapped.

Nigeria has postponed for six weeks a presidential election that had been due to be held on February 14, citing the security threat from Boko Haram.

Modified: so I'm FTC...

Boko.hari call your boys to order.

#not for sale#

Olohun ma shanuwa

Rip to the dead.

People in the north, please endure this a little more...
From may 29, you will weep no more.
We need a working president.
We need change.
VOTE GMB.

Hian... Boko boys at it again!!!

MAY 29 IS THE END OF THIS TRASH

God have mercy!!

.

hmmnn

time to put end to this

Chai, those monsters are so heartless

This is sad.

I I believe security is a community effort.

If it is said that these things happening in the North are indicators that the Presidency has failed security wise, why do we not experience same in other zones of the country?

I wonder why people in these affected states are still hanging around.

BH is busy targeting bus parks and crowded markets, still residents of these areas are going to congest themselves there. Why won't BH strike again?

If they know what is good for them they had better relocate, even if its to nearby states atleast till may 29th.

May God touch their hearts.Awon were somebody

Not again this ppl are heartless

okay
