Many dead in Maiduguri multiple explosions

Many people were killed on Sunday in multiple bomb attacks in
Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
A member of the youth vigilance group, Kaka Mustapha, told our
correspondent on the telephone that their group had been called
up to assist in evacuating the corpses of the victims of
explosions at Ajilari cross.
Mustapha said the area was attacked by multiple bombs on
Sunday evening at about 7.30pm.
According to him, the first two explosions were targeted at a
mosque in Ajilari cross.
He said the bombs were planted in a mosque in the area and
perhaps timed to coincide with the time of the late evening
prayers.
He also revealed that another bomb exploded at a mini business
district where people were shopping for dinner.
Mustapha said the third site where the explosion occurred was a
game centre in the area where young people pay to play
computer games and get their mobile phones charged.
He however said the number of casualties could not yet be
ascertained at the time of responding to the questions of our
correspondent on Sunday evening.
The police could not be reached at the time of filing this report.
