Two loud explosions have rocked Maiduguri, the Borno State capital in northeast Nigeria.
The blast occurred around 7:10am on Saturday at the Bakassi area of Maiduguri.
Unconfirmed sources say two female suicide bombers detonated the explosives in a gathering of women who were going to the farm.
At least six persons have been killed in an early morning bomb attack in Maiduguri, Borno State.
Twin blasts, which echoed across the city, occurred at two different spots, about 1km apart.
The first blast went off at about 7a.m. at a coffee drinking spot near the Bakassi IDP camp, along the popular Maiduguri-Biu road.
“Six persons were reportedly killed in the blast and have been evacuated to the hospital,” a resident of the area said.
Shortly after that, at about 7.35a.m., another blast went off in a tricycle near the NNPC fuel depot along Damboa Road, killing a woman and the rider. It was not clear who the bomber was between the woman and the tricycle driver.
