It appears Boko Haram will not allow Nigerians enjoy the Eid-el-Fitri celebration in peace as twin bomb blasts have occurred in Damaturu, capital of Yobe state, in north east Nigeria.

Scores of people have died and many injured.

The incident came in the wake of double blasts in a main market in Gombe on Thursday. Over 50 people were killed.

Twice in May, female suicide bombers, one of them believed to be no more than 10 years old also killed about many people in the same city of Damaturu.
