A blast at a market in northeastern Nigeria’s Borno state killed at least 47 people and injured another 52, a military source and a civilianjoint task force member said on Tuesday.
The explosion, in a region where hundreds of people have been killed in attacks by suspected members of militant Islamist group Boko Haram in the last few weeks, struck the town of Sabon Gari at around 1.30 p.m. (0830 ET), the sources said.
