Again, suicide bomber strikes, kills at least 10 people

A suicide bomber has blown himself up in the early hours of this morning killing at least 10 people. The incident happened at the busy Baga fish market in Maiduguri, Borno State.

Eye witness account has it that the suicide bomber was in a tricycle in the market when the bomb exploded.

According to a fish seller many dead bodies are still lying on the ground and several others have been badly injured.

A security officer who confirmed the incident described the explosion as massive noting that people are still counting the dead

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack but it is believed to be the handiwork of the Boko Haram group who has vowed to wreck havoc on the country.

The Nigeria Military claimed to be containing the situation with Cameroon and Niger forming a multinational force to confront the spreading insurgent uprising.

Chad's President Idris Deby earlier this week said his forces know the whereabouts of Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau and warned him to surrender or face certain death.
