Two suicide explosions along a highway in Borno State killed at least 10
people on Thursday afternoon, state police said, the latest in a string of
almost daily attacks by suspected insurgents.A female suicide bomber killed
seven and injured 13 at a village called Malari on the main road from Bama to
Konduga while a second suicide bomber killed three in blast along the same
road, the state police chief, Aderemi Opadokun, said.
A military source told Reuters that in both cases the suicide bombers targeted
crowded areas where locals sell fruit along the highway, which runs southeast
of the state capital Maiduguri. Thousands of people have been killed and
about 1.5 million displaced during Boko Haram’s six-year fight to create an
Islamic caliphate in the northeast Nigeria.
