At least five people were killed by a bomb in Gamboru market in Nigeria’s northeastern city of Maiduguri on Friday morning, a policeman and a rescue worker said.
The explosion occurred at about 6am today.
Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, is frequently targeted by Islamist group Boko Haram. The market also has been previously hit by suicide bombers.
A hospital source said a dozen people were brought in with injuries as well as four bodies so far.
