Bomb blast kills 16 in Nigeria

A bomb blast in the north-eastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri killed at least 16 people and injured 20 on Saturday, reports Reuters.

Maiduguri, the capital of the Borno state has seen several attacks from boko Haram militants, who operate within the north-eastern states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.


The latest attack comes as reports suggest at least 2,000 people were killed in a Boko Haram massacre in the town of Baga last week.
