Twin Explosions Rock Displaced Persons Camp In Borno

Twin explosions on Saturday evening rock one of the camps
accommodating thousands of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in
Maiduguri metropolis.

The incident took place at about 6:15pm shaking many houses and
structures around Maduganari ward, Ramat Polytechnic institute and
other nearby communities.

Saturday, last week, multiple explosions rocked different locations
including two major markets and motor parks in the metropolis living
over 100 people dead with scores injured.

Unconfirmed revelation from sources said the incident took place at
Yerwa Government Girls Secondary School, while other sources said, the
incident occurred at Arabic Teacher's College, unfortunately both
schools which share the same fence have now became camps accommodating
some IDPs in Borno.

Another source revealed that "the explosions were safely detonated by
security operatives at Yewa Secondary School located at the heart of
the city after discovering that it was planted by insurgents to cause
havoc in the camps".
