A bomb has exploded behind one of the military barracks in Nigeria’s north-eastern city of Maiduguri.
The BBC’s Abdullahi Kaura Abubakar reports that details are still sketchy.
Witnesses say about three to four loud blasts were heard near Maimalari barracks this morning.
President Muhammadu Buhari moved the military’s operational headquarters to Maiduguri last year to better tackle the Boko Haram insurgency.
The Islamist militants have lost much of the land they had captured in the last 20 months, but have been behind multiple bomb and suicide attacks.
