Three people have been feared killed as explosions from a rocket-propelled grenade believed to have been fired into Maiduguri by Boko Haram/ISWAP hit parts of the city a few hours to the arrival of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Residents said the explosion occurred at Ajilaro Cross and Gomari a few meters away from the Air Force Base where the president landed hours later.
