Three female suicide bombers on
Friday, attacked the Umarari Bayan Waya area of Mulai Village in Maiduguri, the
Borno State capital with Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), leaving at least
seven people feared killed and 17 others injured.
The blast was reported to have
occurred around a few minutes past 5am when Muslim faithful were getting ready
for the early morning prayer, reports Channels TV.
The explosion claimed the lives of
the suicide bombers and four others while 17 injured are currently receiving
treatment at the Specialist Hospital.
This is coming barely 24 hours after
many worshippers were feared dead in a bomb explosion in a mosque around Mulai
area of Maiduguri.
The bomb went off when worshippers
were observing their Magrib prayers.
Dozens of worshippers were killed
when two suicide bombers blew themselves up in the mosque, witnesses said.
“All the people in the mosque died.
Not a single one escaped,” said Muhtari Ahmadu, a trader near the scene.
“We counted 42 dead bodies outside
the mosque,” added Amadu Marte, a vigilante supporting the security forces in
the fight against the Islamist Boko Haram group, which has carried out repeated
attacks in the region.
