At least 50 killed, 52 injured after a bomb blast hits a market in Borno.

      A huge blast has rock a market in Nigeria State of  Borno, killing at least 50 people and injured 52 others, local media reported. The attack was reported to have occured in the town of Sabon Gari in the State. The attack was reported to have carried out by a female suicide bomber. No group has claim respinsibility for the blast. Many Nigerians and analyst believe Islamist Boko Haram militant group might behind the deadly blast. Boko Haram has claimed responsibility of similar  attack in the past. Thousands of people had lost their lives in Boko Haram attack. The Nigerian armed forces claimed they are making gains in the fight against Boko Haram. The military said, it has recaptured territory control by the militant group. It is very hard to verify what is happening on ground because media are not allow in the front line where the army is battling the group. Nigerian president has allied with neighbouring countries to fight the group which had prompted the group to carried out cross-boder attacks in Cameroon, Chad and Niger on several occasions. The Nigeria president's spokesman said recently that government is ready to negotiate with the militants if the true identity of there leaders are known. He stressed that, government cannot negotiate with an invisible person who is using mask to cover its identity. It might recalled that imediate past president of Nigeria, GoodLuck Jonathan negotiated with the so called representative of the group, which was later found out to be wrong representation. Boko Haram then leader said, he never sent any body to represent the group in negotiation with Nigeria government.
