A bomb blast, which occurred in the early hours of Sunday in Jajere area of Maiduguri metropolis, destroyed a local block industry.
An eye witness, who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on condition of anonymity, explained that the bomb was planted on the road from where it later exploded to hit the block industry.
He, however, said nobody was killed or injured in the blast as it was very early in the morning and many residents were still indoors.
The Operation Commander of the Joint Task Force(JTF) in Borno, Col. Victor Ebhaleme, confirmed the incident (bomb blast), adding that security had been beefed up in the area.www.mannastores.com
The bomb was planted on the road and no life or casualty was lost or recorded in the explosion. It was only a local block industry in the area that was affected,” he said.
He, however, reminded residents that the deadline for the submission of arms and ammunition remained Monday.
Ebhaleme disclosed that some people had complied with the directive, saying this led to the recovery of a large number of weapons by the JTF.
The commander, however, warned that those who failed to submit dangerous weapons in their possession at the expiration of the deadline would be treated as criminals.
