A car bomb detonated in a market in Nigeria’s northeastern city of Maiduguri on Tuesday morning, and dozens of people are scared dead, witnesses said.
They instantly accused Boko Haram, the Islamic extremist group whose birthplace is Maiduguri and which is charged of a series of recent bomb attacks in the West African nation.
Tuesday’s explosives were hidden under a load of charcoal in a pickup van, according to witnesses who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliations.
Trader Daba Musa Yobe, who works near the popular market, said the bomb went off just after the market opened at 8 a.m., before most traders or customers had arrived.
