Multiple blasts have struck Nigeria’s northeastern city of Maiduguri, killing at least 23 people and wounding more than 100 others, according to police, who had deployed explosives’ clearance teams to three locations following several “suspected suicide bomb events”. The updated toll was given Tuesday after blasts occurred on Monday at the entrance of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital and two local markets, known as Post Office and Monday Market, according to Sirajo Abdullahi, the head of operations at Nigeria’s National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in Maiduguri. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the suspected bombings. The attacks in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, come as Nigeria battles a complex security crisis involving different armed groups in the north of the country. Boko Haram and the ISIL (ISIS) affiliate in West Africa Province (ISWAP) group have carried out several attacks against army bases across Borno this month, killing a number of troops and seizing weapons.
