By Staff, Agencies

A series of suicide bombings by Boko Haram terrorists killed at least thirty people in northeast Nigeria late Sunday evening, emergency services reported. 

"The death toll from the attack has so far increased to 30. We have over 40 people injured," Usman Kachalla, head of operations at the State Emergency Management Agency [SEMA], said on Monday, raising the tally from 17 dead and 17 wounded.

Three suicide bombers detonated explosives outside of a hall where soccer fans were watching a match on TV in Konduga, located outside of the Borno state capital of Maiduguri.
