BREAKING NEWS: News reaching firstclass newsline says that more than 50 people DIED in Maiduguri suicide bombing today

Firstclass newsline learnt that a bomb blast has hit a busy market in
the city of Maiduguri on Tuesday, killing as many as 50 people,
according to eyewitnesses.
A man blew himself up at Gamboru cattle market, according to witnesses
who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. One said he
counted at least 20 bodies.
Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege, reporting from Abuja, said many reports are
still coming in from eyewitnesses.
"We have managed to speak directly to a reliable source who is a
member of the civilian Joint Task Force," Ndege said.
"These are ordinary Nigerians assisting the miltiary in fighting Boko
haram and our source says a serious explosion did take place at cattle
market. A live stock market visited by hundreds of people everyday
trading in livestock."
"What is not clear is the exact number of fatalities according to the
security and emergency services who we have reached out to in order to
get clarification on how many people have been killed or injured and
we are still waiting," Ndege added.
More than 30 people had already died in attacks over the weekend.
President Muhammadu Buhari announced on Friday that he is moving the
military's headquarters from Abuja to Maiduguri to better tackle the
rebellion.
The biggest city in northeast Nigeria is also the birthplace of Boko Haram.
On May 30, an explosion killed at least 30 people as 29 heads of state
and leading diplomats were meeting in Abuja for the inauguration of
the country's new president.
