Although no one has claimed the attack, Boko Haram are suspected to be behind a bombing which killed at least 16 people on Wednesday, the latest in a series of lethal attacks against civilians in the area.
A bomb exploded in a roadside market in Nigeria's Borno state killing at least 16 people and wounding dozens of others, police said. The government imposed a 24-hour curfew after the bombing attack, the second in recent weeks.
