Boko Haram returns to Abuja, bombs 15 to death in Kuje, Nyanya attacks

No group has said it carried out the attacks yet but suspicion has fallen on Boko Haram Islamists.
While the militant group has attacked Abuja before, its insurgency has mostly focused on the north-east.
Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, is where the militants first based its campaign to carve out an Islamist state in 2009.
The explosives, Manzo Ezekiel said, appeared to be "the same kind of explosives used in the insurgency" in the north-east.
Thirteen people died in the Kuje blast, while two died at Nyanya, an agency statement said.
Some 17,000 people are said to have been killed since Boko Haram began its insurgency in 2009. It has intensified attacks since Muhammadu Buhari became president in May, vowing to defeat the insurgents.
This year, security forces have managed to reclaim most of the territory captured by Boko Haram fighters and freed a number of people kidnapped.
