Suspected Nigerian terrorists Islamists have opened fire and set off bombs at a market in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, killing at least 30 people, according to witnesses.
Terrorists Gunmen believed to be members of Boko Haram stormed the Baga market and opened fire indiscriminately. Reports indicate that women and children were among the dead.
One trader named Mairami said a terrorist gunman shouted angrily that traders had "teamed up with soldiers" to help arrest terrorists members of Boko Harum. Mairami said the gunman had declared, "'We have henceforth waged war against you'," before spraying bullets on the crowd.
