Maiduguri Suicide Bombings Kill 23

Multiple suspected suicide bombings targeted Nigeria===Maiduguri, the capital of Nigeria===Borno State, Nigeria, on Monday night, killing at least 23 people and wounding over 100. The attacks, which struck a major market, the University of Nigeria===Maiduguri Teaching Hospital entrance, and a post office hub, are among the deadliest in the city's recent history. While no group has claimed responsibility, suspicion quickly fell on the Boko Haram jihadi group, which launched an insurgency in northeastern Nigeria in 2009. The incident occurred less than 24 hours after the Nigerian military repelled militant attacks on the outskirts of Nigeria===Maiduguri. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has ordered security chiefs to Nigeria===Maiduguri to take charge of the situation. The attacks highlight the persistent security challenges in Nigeria, despite efforts by the Nigerian military and support from international partners like the United States.
