It was a market day in Monguno where grains and animals are brought and sold from far and near, thereby attracting large patronage. The terrorists reportedly used the opportunity to sneak into the town and wreaked havoc, leading to the death of no fewer than 100 people, including traders, customers, labourers and children.

 Several other people, including women and children sustained injuries during the blast which also destroyed nearby houses and merchandise, witnesses said. Dozens of charred bodies of the victims have been brought to the Specialists Hospital in Maiduguri this morning and kept at the premises of the morgue.

Sources in Monguno said life was gradually returning to the garrison town when the latest attack was launched. A security source in Maiduguri who confirmed the attack said investigation was ongoing.
