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.
