Six people including five female suicide bombers
aged between 9 and 13, lost their lives during an
attack in Maiduguri, Borno state earlier today.
According to reports, the five girls who had
bombs strapped on them were travelling in a
group when they approached civilian vigilantes
helping the Nigerian military fight Boko Haram.
"Two of the girls detonated their explosives
instantly and the rest fled the scene," Muhammad
Kanar from the Nigeria Emergency Management
Agency told the BBC Hausa service. The other
three blew themselves up as they were being
chased by security forces. One other person was
killed and four wounded in the incident.
