Borno State Deputy Governor, Umar Kadafur, has visited victims of the Maiduguri explosions currently receiving treatment at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital.
Normalcy is gradually returning to Maiduguri as residents resume their daily activities following the recent blasts, with the Borno State Government assuring that the situation is firmly under control.
Police confirmed that the incident reportedly occurred almost simultaneously at the gate of the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, the Monday Market Roundabout and the Post Office area, which left 23 dead and 108 injured.
The blasts, suspected to have been caused by improvised explosive devices planted by fighters of Boko Haram, were reported around 7 p.m., shortly after Muslims broke their fast.
The Nigerian Army has also alerted Maiduguri residents to the potential deployment of more suicide bombers by Boko Haram, warning the public to steer clear of crowded areas.
Hospital authorities confirmed that several victims with minor injuries have been treated and discharged, while others are responding positively to care.
