Overview
- Police said three near-simultaneous explosions struck the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital gate, the Monday Market and the Post Office area on Monday evening.
- The official toll stands at 23 dead and 108 injured, while emergency officials reported higher numbers of victims evacuated to multiple hospitals.
- No group has claimed responsibility as police cite suspected suicide bombers and the military points to Boko Haram activity in a region where ISWAP also operates.
- The blasts followed an overnight attack on a military post at Ajilari Cross that security forces repelled, part of a broader uptick in assaults across Borno state.
- Authorities increased patrols, deployed EOD teams and cordoned the sites as hospitals handled large casualty flows during the final days of Ramadan.
