An explosion has gone off at the popular Maiduguri poultry market, with several people feared dead, residents, journalists and security operatives have told TIMES.
Our correspondent says the incident, happening less than six weeks after the same market was attacked by suicide bombers, occurred at 12:20 P.M. Nigerian time.

Details of the incident is sketchy and the casualty rate is unclear. But the explosion has sparked panic across the Borno state capital, with some residents scampering home for safety.
The spokesperson of the Borno Police, Gideon Jibrin, confirmed the explosion.

He however said police detectives were heading to the scene to ascertain the extent of damage.
A security source, who asked not to be named because he was not authorised to speak on the matter, however said the the explosive was ferried into the market by a female suicide bomber believed not to be older than 10.
“Her body was completely shattered,” he said. “Because of the high calibre explosive she strapped to her body, the upper part of her body was flung apart and found about 500 metres away.”

The source said the explosion occurred shortly after another suspected bomber was apprehended in the area.
Suicide bombers, believed to be of the extremist Boko Haram sect, had attacked the same market last December 1.
The police said six people, including two female suicide bombers, died in that attack.

Again?

How long shall Nigerians suffer?

How long shall Nigerians cry?

How long will Nigerians continue to die and perish?

How long will this insecurity last?

How long will Nigeria have this weak leadership?

Nigerians want change!

Nigerians do not want bad luck called goodluck

Nigerians want a strong man that can command the affairs of the nation.

RIP to the dead.

This is not fair , people are dying here in the north, The so-called president has done nothing yet I think this president hates us RIP to the deads, May Allah have mercy to the deceased and protect us ALL from this dreaded BH..

This is very bad.
These deluded fellows have surely been brainwashed beyond redemption.

They keep treading the path of destruction taking innocents down with them. The other day it was a couple who volunteered their daughter for suicide bombing. Damn! The individuals who cast this spell of delusion on these people must be very good at hypnosis.

Very unfortunate.

ewooooh ' '
This gej's people no go finish us oooo.

Nigerian people: Mr. President sir, a suicide bomber just killed 65 people in Maiduguri few minutes ago.
GEJ: [s] Don't, worry, I will call my boys to order [/s] Apc must be responsible for this.
Nigerian people: Sir, the people need immediate medical attention and aide...
GEJ: You people's problem too much o, can't you see that I'm currently campaigning for reelection, why should I give a damn?

I wonder y pple even still live in those states

Did you know that in 1983, Chief Obafemi Awolowo contested at the age of 74 while Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe contested in 1979 at 75? Did you know that Ronald Reagan became US president at the age of 70 and served two of four years each? Just last December, Tunisia sworn in Beji Caid Essebsi as their President. Did you know how old is he? President Essebsi is 88 years old. The election that brought him in as president was the first free and fair presidential election since the country (Tunisia ) gained independence in 1956. If a 72 years old grand “Pa” (as the haters called him) can give me constant electricity, guarantee maximum security (stop the killings up North), put food on my table and stop corruption that a 57 years old young man who is suffering from an inferiority complex can not give then I will be a very big fool to refuse such CHANGE. So those making noise about BUHARI’s age should shut the hell up and give in for a great change.

SAI BUHARI

10 years old? That would be one their wives.

God pls come to our aid ohh

Never knew i'd have to say this,i am ashamed of Islam. Violence begets violence, what kynda message are dey in to d younger muslims? Just dis week d paris killing,were aee d clerics,wat are dey saying? Allowin dis beasts to kip indoctrinating kids.

oh God, restored peace and tranquillity in Nigeria especially tge Northern part of the country.
There is absolutely no room for hatred or
terror in the moral values of Islam. It is unacceptable in Islam for suicide bombers to perpetrate such treacherous outrages against anyone, for any reason.
People who commit such actions and claim to do so in the name of Islam are ignorant fanatics who act in the light of non-Qur’anic nonsense and misinterpretations and who have no idea of what it means to be a true Muslim.

may God save us.
