Although details of the incident are still emerging; there are indications that the alleged bomber may have ties to the dreaded Boko Haram sect.
Indeed, Boko Haram has waged over a decade long insurgency against the Nigerian government. The insurgency has resulted in the deaths of several thousand of Nigerians. Also, it has rendered millions homeless in Nigeria’s North-East which has remained the hotbed of the crisis.
