The bombing is the latest in a series of attacks across Nigeria that has even seen children burned alive in the violence.

The attack took place around 50 miles outside the capital of Borno, the battleground of the seven-year insurgency that has caused thousands to be displaced.

Officials suspect Boko Haram are behind the latest attack but an official claim of responsibility has yet to be announced.

The terror attacks, which took place on Tuesday, only emerged after a breakdown in telephone systems in the country were fixed.
