Dozens feared dead as twin blasts hit Adamawa

Twin explosions have ripped through a market in Madagali, Adamawa State northeast Nigeria.

The incident, which occurred on Friday, is reported to have killed dozens of people.

Police spokesman Othman Abubakar confirms the blasts but says he has no toll of victims yet.

Boko Haram Islamic extremists are blamed for the attack Friday morning on the edge of the group’s Sambisa Forest stronghold, which Nigeria’s military has been bombing ahead of ground assaults.
