Explosion Rips Through Borno Market, Four Dead

Four people have killed in a bomb blast at the Moru-Moru market in the
Gamboru area near Maiduguri the Borno State capital.

ChannelsTV correspondent in Maiduguri, Blessing Tunoh reports that the
explosion is believed to have been caused by a concealed improvised
explosive device.

The bomb attack comes barely 24 hours after a suicide bomb attack on a
mosque in Maiduguri.

Early on Saturday soldiers had repelled an attack by the Boko Haram
sect as they attempted to invade Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

The insurgents are reported to have approached Maiduguri through Dala,
a suburb of the town but could not gain entrance because of the
military troops stationed there.

More details soon.
