Tuesday, during the broadcast of the 2014 World Cup match Brazil-Mexico, grief fell in the city of Damaturu. A bomb explosion killed at least 21 people, according to medical sources.
Witnesses said the bomb was hidden in a motorized richshaw in front of the center, where a crowd had gathered to watch the match Brazil-Mexico on a big screen. Boko Haram was early indexed. The Islamist group has always “described football as a Western perversion to repel Muslims from their religion”, said AFP.
Last week, it was in a football stadium that a bomb exploded in Nigeria. More than 40 people were killed in the north-east.
