A suspected Boko Haram attack in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, has killed as many as 65 people and wounded many more. Twin bombs were detonated in the densely populated Ajilari suburb this evening; a third explosion has also been reported. The Adamawa state governor and his entourage fled the village of Shuwa after hearing Boko Haram was advancing in the area; Nigeria’s Director of Defense Information, Major-General Chris Olukolade, contradicted the report.
