4 Female Suicide Bombers Kill 22 in Early Morning Attacks in Maiduguri

Four females suicide bombers killed about 22 persons barely 12 hours after Thursday's bomb blast.

 
22 persons have been reportedly killed after four female suicide bombers struck in the early hours of today, Friday, October 16 in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
 
The attack is coming just 12 hours after two male suicide bombers' attack killed about 30 in Maiduguri.
A Red Cross official who wants to be anonymous said, “We have 22 dead bodies including that of the female suicide bombers at the scene blast”. The official also revealed that most of the victims were villagers from Umari, a community near Molai.
 
According to statement from a top Civilian-JTF, Abba Khalil, “The women were seen trying to sneak through the bush paths along the Maiduguri-Biu road, but soldiers at the checkpoint were able to spot them after receiving some vital intelligence from informants”.
 
“The women refused to obey soldiers orders to halt movement, so the soldiers opened fire on them. One of the women was unfortunately able to detonate her explosive, which triggered the ones on the bodies of the three others that were shot down. The shrapnel from the bullet had however killed many persons and injured about 14 villagers in the nearby community. We have rushed the victims to the hospital where they are currently receiving treatment,” Abba Khalil revealed.
 
It will be recalled that last night, two male suicide bombers attacked and killed many people in a mosque and checkpoint in Molai. About 26 persons lost their lives in a mosque while more than 25 persons are in critical condition.
