Death toll from the Tuesday’s bomb blast in Maiduguri has risen to 43, hospital sources and emergency workers said.
Some of the survivors are now receiving treatment at the General Mamman Shuwa Memorial hospital even as most of those killed were youth who sell recharge cards and handset accessories at the GSM Market around the Post Office area. Their dead bodies were deposited at the mortuary of the State Specialists Hospital now being guarded by soldiers.
