Another Bomb Blast At Maiduguri Market Kills At Least 30

A bomb blast has occurred at a busy meat market in Maiduguri in
Nigeria's north-east, killing at least 30 people.

Channels Television's correspondent in Borno State confirmed the attack.

The bomb, said to have been concealed under a butcher's table in the
market, went off at around 1:00pm local time, killing shoppers and
travellers, a military source said.

Nobody has claimed responsibility for the explosion, but the Boko
Haram terrorist is suspected to have carried out the attack.

The attack comes days after two bomb attacks killed at least 30 people
in the state.

Nigeria's new President, Muhammadu Buhari, has vowed to crush the
group which has killed thousands of people in the north-east, as they
push for the establishment of an Islamic State.

Reuters quoted a paramedic, Lawal Kawu, as saying that 31 charred
bodies had been evacuated to the teaching hospital in Maiduguri and
several other people were brought in with severe injuries.

Witnesses said they heard a loud explosion.

"It shook our school building and I had to run away. I saw military
vehicles with soldiers moving toward the area," Abubakar Mohammed, a
college student few meters away from the blast scene told Reuters.

The terrorist group has been chased out of Adamawa and Yobe States by
military troops, but they are increasing attacks in Borno State.
