Four bomb blasts have killed at least 50 people in Maiduguri in Nigeria's northeast in the worst attacks there since Islamist militants tried to seize the city in two major assaults earlier this year.
There was no immediate claim for the bombings but they bore the hallmarks of the Islamist group Boko Haram, which has been waging a six-year insurgency to carve out an Islamic state in Africa's biggest economy.
