The death toll from three weekend blasts in Borno State has risen to 100, reports say.
The three bombs went off within hours of each other on Saturday, March 7, in Maiduguri, the state capital.



Authorities initially pegged the casualty figure at 58 but a source at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital told Vanguard that most of the injured victims who were brought into the hospital did not survive.
Some victims who were taken to the Umaru Shehu Hospital and the State Specialists Hospital were also said to have succumbed to their injuries.
“Due to the gravity of injuries of some victims brought into the hospital yesterday (Saturday) and coupled with the excessive bleeding by the victims, scores could not make it overnight,” an attendant at the State Specialists Hospital, who chose to remain anonymous, said.
“Many passed away this morning (yesterday) before the doctor on duty conducted routine checks while another victim is also critically lying on bed and if extra care is not taken, he may not survive,” she added.
No group has taken responsibility for the attack but it is believed to be the work of terrorist sect, Boko Haram.
The new casualty figure has not been confirmed by the necessary authorities.

X-rays, gamma radiation, and nuclear medicine (CT scans, barium swallows, and mammograms) are types of ionizing radiation. Your food is being zapped by high-frequency waves of heat, and some people argue that this radiation can be harmful to your health. One study by Dr. Hans Hertel explored how microwaves change the molecular structure of food and the effects of that food on the human body. In his study, he found that individuals who consumed the microwaved foods experienced a decrease in HDL cholesterol, a reduced red blood cell count, and fewer white blood cells. Unfortunately, no studies have been conducted since to replicate D
