Maiduguri hit again

The Nigerian City of Maiduguri has come under attack again, just few days after Boko Haram bombings killed fifty-eight people as the government dismissed the militants link to the Islamic State group. 

The twin blast ripped through the Northern Eastern City's crowded Monday market, which has been repeatedly hit by suicide bombers. 

The latest attack comes after the government in Abuja described the militant's pledge of allegiance to ISIS as a sign of weakness in the face of growing military pressure from Nigeria and its allies.
