Multiple blasts from bomb explosions suspected to be from the Boko Haram insurgents shook Maiduguri, Borno State, in the early hours of Saturday as Nigerians woke up on election day.

The blasts, about 11 in number, were heard at about 6 a.m. It is not certain from which direction they occurred, but agitated residents said it could be another attack by Boko Haram.

“A police officer, returning home from night duty told PREMIUM TIMES in Maiduguri that “we counted 11 of the explosions this morning. But we are unsure where they occurred.” Last night there were unconfirmed reports that Boko Haram suicide bombers attacked Zabarmari an outskirts area of Jere, the twin capital township of Maiduguri.
