According to military and emergency officials, first bomb attack hit a camp of displaced people on Tuesday located outside Maiduguri, which is the capital of Nigeria’s Borno state.
The attack had not been announced earlier due to a breakdown in the telephone system.

The terrorists recently pledged allegiance to the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group, which is primarily operating in Syria and Iraq.
