Abuja, February 11 (RHC)-- Two bomb attacks in northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri have killed over 60 people. Nigeria's security officials say that the attacks hit a camp for people displaced by the militancy of Boko Haram terrorist group some 85 km outside Maiduguri, which is the capital of Nigeria's Borno state.

According to an AFP count, Boko Haram terrorists have killed more than 1,650 people since the inauguration of Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari in May 2015. President Buhari, who promised to put an end to the militancy, said last December that Boko Haram had been “technically” defeated. The militants, however, continue to carry out assaults across the region.
