The Police in Borno State have confirmed that 54 people were killed and over 95 injured in the multiple explosions that hit Maiduguri, the state capital on Sunday night.
Police Public Relations Officer Victor Isuku said the attacks bore the hallmark of suspected Boko Haram insurgents. No group has however claimed responsibility for the action.
Isuku said the suspected Boko Haram terrorists simultaneously detonated four separate Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) at a mosque and a viewing center in Ajilari T-junction of Maiduguri metropolis.
There are conflicting reports on the figures as eyewitnesses put the figure of the death toll at over 60 with more than 95 injuries.
Some hospital sources corroborated the fatality of over 60.

These people are heartless and full of evil, why kill defenseless people and not face their military counterparts in battle for battle if they are that tough. An end is at sight, may the souls of the people killed rest in peace and may their souls hunt down Bokoharam wherever they out.
