According to Premium Times, a bomb explosion on Friday night killed 11 people and injured many others in front of a local cinema beside the Konduga fish market in Borno State. The tragedy unfolded just hours after the military repelled insurgent attacks in nearby communities. Silent nightfall gave way to chaos in a region still haunted by insecurity.
- The blast occurred near a fish market and cinema in Konduga, 36km from Maiduguri.
- 11 people died, many others were wounded, and rushed to Maiduguri Specialist Hospital.
- No group has claimed responsibility, but Boko Haram is suspected.
- It’s the first such bombing in Konduga in nearly a year.
Silent nightfall once promised relief, but in Konduga, it shattered into screams. The stillness of peace here is deceptive, repeatedly pierced by violence no one wants to name aloud. Insecurity in Borno feels less like a crisis, more like a routine.
What does silent nightfall mean to you, calm or a sign of something about to go wrong?
