The episode, described by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a “mishap,” was the latest in a series of bombings that have accidentally hit local populations.

An ongoing coup in Niger could shape the future of a West African regional bloc and the presidency of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the newly elected leader of Nigeria.
In his first two months in office, President Bola Tinubu has ripped the Band-Aid off Nigeria’s ailing economy. Time will tell if it can heal, but for now, Nigerians are feeling the pain.
