Nigeria official: 10 killed in restive north
At least 10 people were killed in weekend violence in Nigeria's restive northeast, said an official on Sunday who attributed some of the strikes to a radical Muslim sect known for similar attacks.
Maj. Gen. Jack Nwachukwu Nwaogbo said a Sunday explosion near police barracks in the city of Maiduguri killed at least five people and wounded 10 Sunday evening. He also said three gunmen from the Boko Haram sect shot and killed four people in Maiduguri late on Saturday. Nwaogbo said a fifth person was shot dead Sunday. (AP)
