According to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the blast occurred around Muna Garage, an area in Maiduguri, on Wednesday. The agency later added that 15 people had been injured and taken to hospitals across the city.
President Buhari took to his Twitter handle moments ago to express his condolences to the families of the victims and the Borno State Government.

Unable to hold territory, the severely degraded terrorist group now occasionally resorts to cowardly attacks on soft targets.

I commend our military for their unflagging efforts. This attack has further strengthened our resolve to completely neutralize Boko Haram.
