Multiple explosions rocked Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, on Monday night. The attacks killed over 20 people, according to reports. On Tuesday, Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu paid a working visit to the area, where he met with victims and commiserated with them over the incident. Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, representing Borno South, condemned the bombings. He warned Maiduguri residents, stating 'We must not let our guard down'. Ndume called on the federal government to prioritise security rather than the 2027 elections. President Bola Tinubu mourned the victims of the Borno terror attacks and vowed that Nigeria will not succumb to fear. One voice, identified as Frank, criticised Tinubu's trip to the UK amid the blasts. The sources provide limited details on the exact circumstances of the explosions or the perpetrators.
