The attacks resulted in the death of 129 people, and left at least 352 injured.

Nothing elaborate was however said about nigeria, apart from a mention in a post on the terrorist group’s blog.
The statement, posted on isis’ blog, according to a tweet by TRACterrorisi m.org, reads, “O people crusaders: when you deploy forces in order to control the city Saladin and dreaming of Mosul, Sinjar, Haul, Tikrit or Huwaijah or dreaming Mayadin or Jarablus or Karmah or Tel Abyad or Al Qaim or Darnah or dream to reclaim the wilderness in the interior nigeria or master ‘Asy’asy Sinai desert sand, then surel, WE just want ROME and paris Insyallah before before ANDALUSIA (UKK).”
