Blasts hit Nigerian bus station as the wave of violence from Boko Haram continues...
Bomb attacks have killed at least 32 people in northern Nigeria, amid a wave of violence from Boko Haram militants.
A suicide bomber killed at least 17 people at a bus station in Biu,
witnesses told BBC News, while a second bomber was caught by a crowd and
reportedly beaten to death.
Two bombers were apparently involved in the attack in Biu
In Jos, three bombs thrown from a car killed 15 people at a bus station and the university.
Violence by Boko Haram Islamist militants in the region has already led to the postponement of February's presidential election.
The vote will now take place on 28 March.
President Goodluck Jonathan, who was visiting the north-eastern garrison town of Baga, insisted that the army was winning the war against Boko Haram.
The army recaptured Baga from Boko Haram last week. The group still controls much of the north-eastern state of Borno and more than three million people have fled their homes.
AFP news agency reports that at least 17 people died in an attack in Jos.
Attacks in Kano and Potiskum on Tuesday claimed more than 50 lives. No group has said it carried them out.
