Maiduguri bombing: Death Toll Rises To 43

Death toll in Tuesday’s bomb attack on Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, has risen from 30 to 43.

Also, about three hours after the Maiduguri incident, gunmen suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect invaded another village in the state and killed five people.

A mortuary attendant at the Borno State Specialists Hospital, Maiduguri where the corpses were deposited, said he counted 43 corpses brought to the hospital’s morgue after the explosion on Tuesday.
