A car-bomb explosion was
reported in Maiduguri in Borno
State, Nigeria’s emergency
agency said on Wednesday, an
area that has been repeatedly
attacked by Islamist militant
group Boko Haram during its
seven-year-old insurgency.
“There is a reported case of
bomb blast around Muna
Garage,” the National
Emergency Management
Agency (NEMA) tweeted,
referring to an area in the city.
“Emergency workers are on
their way to the scene,” it said.
A Reuters witness saw Red
Cross vehicles near the area.
