Suspected Boko Haram insurgents
attacked Alikaramchi village, close to Giwa barracks in Maiduguri, capital of
Borno state, on Wednesday night.
The incident happened hours after
President Muhammadu Buhari left Maiduguri for Yobe state.
Buhari had visited Yobe state
government house and Government Girls Science and Technical School, Dapchi,
where he met with families of the 110 students kidnapped on February 19.
In Borno, the president met with
family members of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls.
Bamus Garba, a resident of the
area who confirmed the fresh attack, said twin suicide bombers struck around
9:10pm.
Garba said the attack happened
some meters away from his home.
“We heard loud explosions close
to my neighbour’s house. I cannot confirm the casualty because we cannot go out
at this time of the day,” he said.
Ali Dusuman, a member of civilian
JTF, a vigilante group, said eight persons sustained injuries in the attack
while two suicide bombers were killed.
Dustman said a team from the
explosive ordinance department of the police has visited the scene alongside some
security personnel.
Security agencies are yet to
react to the attack
