KANO, Nigeria: At least four people were killed on Thursday (Friday in Manila) when suspected jihadists fired rockets on the northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri ahead of a visit by President Muhammadu Buhari, emergency workers and residents said. At least five rockets were fired at around 1000 GMT just hours before Buhari arrived in the city. One rocket killed a woman and her three children when it struck a home in the neighborhood of Gomari, near an air force base where Buhari was expected to land, according to resident Abbagana Ahmad. Officials did not immediately comment on the attacks but residents blamed the Islamic State West Africa Province group.
