Maiduguri faces fresh threats after a mosque bombing kills 35; as Borno’s capital, it’s a hotspot for security crises in NE Nigeria.
Security officials in Maiduguri warn residents of potential suicide attacks during Eid prayers following recent bombings that killed over 20 people. Authorities urge vigilance and report suspicious activity as insurgents may attempt diversionary attacks.
Since Sunday, gunmen have attacked communities and an unregistered orphanage across Nigeria. At least 29 people have been killed in Guyaku, Adamawa state — ISWAP has claimed responsibility — and gunmen have abducted 23 pupils from an unregistered school in Kogi state, with security forces rescuing 15 so far. Violence is persisting across the northeast and central regions.
