Blasts have reportedly rocked two Nigerian cities two hours before election polls were due to open on 23 February, as Nigerians are slated to elect a new president, vice president, and members of the bicameral National Assembly.
Alleged terrorists have attacked a northeastern Nigerian town, causing people to flee hours before the start of the elections, Reuters reported citing witnesses.
Blasts have also reportedly been heard in Maiduguri, the capital of the state of Borno.
According to Sahara Reporters, residents of Maiduguri are currently in a panic over a series of explosions that have rocked the city all within a ten-minute span starting at 5 a.m. local time.
