BREAKING NEWS""""""MAIDUGURI BOMBED

Bomb explosions targeted at a shop-ping mall and commercial area by suspected Boko Haram bombers in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital left many residents dead and others injured yesterday evening. Deafening sound from the first blast had barely subsided around the city at about 6.05pm, when another blast reverberated about two minutes later in same area.
The twin explosion, according to eyewitnesses, occurred near a shopping complex at Ajilari Bintu Sugar, Gomari ward of Maiduguri. “Many were killed,” a resident who lives near the scene said, adding that many residents “are already fleeing the area.”
A police source said a car laden with explosive devices (IEDs) and parked near the shopping complex went in flame as the blast wreaked havoc. “Many people are trapped in the shop because they are usually open till about 8pm. Unfortunately, it is week-end when many residents go shopping. Some had just stopped there to buy items for their families when the explosion occurred,” the source said. Sunday Sun gathered that many residents fled the area after the blast.
“Women and children are among those killed,” a source who visited the scene minutes after the explosion said. He added that men of the state fire service and emergency services were drafted to the scene immediately to evacuate the dead and injured.  “The fire service men and others are already evacuating corpses now. Some policemen are also near the place,” he said further. Pandemonium gripped residents of Maiduguri following the blast as people scurried to their homes. The youth volunteers were also drafted to many parts of the metropolis to conduct stop and search, leading to a heavy traffic jam.
