A series of deadly bombings has shaken Maiduguri in Nigeria, leaving many people killed and injured. The attacks happened in crowded places, including a market, a post office, and a hospital, during the evening when people were breaking their Ramadan fast. At least 23 people were killed, and more than 100 were hurt, with many rushed to hospitals for treatment. Authorities believe the bombings were carried out by suspected suicide attackers linked to extremist groups like Boko Haram, although no group has officially claimed responsibility. The attacks ended a period of relative calm in the city and caused fear among residents. Emergency services struggled to help the large number of victims, and hospitals were overwhelmed. Nigeria’s president, Bola Tinubu, condemned the violence and ordered stronger security measures. The incident shows that the threat of insurgent attacks in the region remains serious and ongoing.

Pray against the resurgence of violence and suicide bombing in Nigeria. Pray for divine protection upon all the innocent civilians from violent attacks. Pray for divine peace to prevail in the nation (The Holy Bible, Psalm 107:13-16).

Pray against all the terrorist groups acting in Nigeria. Pray for the LORD’s intervention to break every chain of violence and extremism prevailing in the country (The Holy Bible, Psalm 3:7).
