MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — A double suicide bombing at a market in Nigeria’s northern city of Maiduguri killed at least 12 people
and wounded 48 others on Wednesday, residents and an emergency official said.
Ibrahim Usman, a trader in the Muna Garage market, said the first bomber attacked
inside the market while the other remained outside, killing only himself.
The insurgency has displaced millions of people, creating one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises,
and has carried out attacks in neighboring countries participating in a military operation against it.
That pronouncement came a year after he declared that the extremist group had been "crushed"
after a military effort to flush the fighters from their forest strongholds.
Muna Garage, the site of a camp for displaced people, has been attacked several times in the past few years by Boko Haram insurgents.
