Babagana Zulum Visits Maiduguri Blast Victims - 10 Persons Dead

Atleast 10 persons have been killed on Tuesday's attack by Boko Haram in Maiduguri, Borno State.

This was revealed when the Governor of the state Babagana Zulum, visited the victims in some of the hospitals attending to the patients.

He also said about 50 person have sustained injuries.

It had been reported that the attack on Tuesday started around 6pm and lasted for an hour, with multiple blasts from rocket-propelled grenades rocking the city.

In his words;

“Indeed it is a very sad moment for the people and government of Borno state, about 60 persons were affected, among them, 10 have died. It was as a result of long-distance shots fired by the insurgents. I believe this is a new trend we have to raise up and stop. We experienced a similar incident exactly one year ago,” he said.

“The solution is to deploy an appropriate form of technology, which will have to work on. I share the pains of all those affected but we are not just visiting hospitals, we do so much behind the scene in our combined responses to the Boko Haram insurgency and we will keep making these and more efforts.”
