"Hundreds of Muslim devotees gathered at Ramat Square in Nigeria's Maiduguri to offer special morning prayers for Eid al-Fitr amid high security, days after multiple suicide bombings killed at least 23 people in the city. Footage shows Muslim men and women praying under heavy security to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan. “With what happened, I'm afraid, so I always observe strangers around," said Musa Mohammed, a worshipper, adding, "If am not comfortable with an unknown face, I don't let them come close to me." "I know death is inevitable, but I urge residents to pray for peace and also call on the government to boost security presence in communities," another worshipper, Mohammed Ali Abubakar, said. The Eid prayers were held under heightened security, with restrictions on vehicular movements to avert threats of militant attacks. These measures come on the heels of suicide explosions that rocked Maiduguri on Monday, when triple bomb blasts carried out by Boko Haram insurgents killed 23 people and injured 109. Maiduguri, in northeast Nigeria, had remained relatively peaceful over the last seven years until last December, when a blast in a mosque in Gamboru Market killed five."
