A truck exploded in a huge fireball in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri on Tuesday when explosives concealed among its cargo of charcoal were detonated, according to witnesses and a brief online statement from the defence ministry.
“A van loaded with charcoal and IED exploded at Monday Market in Maiduguri this morning. The location has been cordoned,” the Twitter account of the defence minister’s office announced.
There was also no claim of responsibility for the attack, although Borno state and Maiduguri itself have been repeatedly targeted in an escalating insurgency by Islamist Boko Haram militants.
God help us!!
