Nigerian Military says multiple blast in Maiduguri was from routine test of equipments

The seventh Division of the Nigerian Army in Maiduguri say the blast that was recorded in Kayamla and Dalori along Bama Road early yesterday is not a Boko Haram assault but rather as a consequence of their normal testing of some military gear. Representative of the Division, Col Tukur Gusau while addressing newsmen, disputed claims that the blasts were from Boko haram assaults. He spoke to inhabitants in the state to try to avoid panicking.  “It is a routine test firing of our weapons to ensure that they are in a state of readiness,” he said
