At least 18 people have been killed and several others injured in suspected suicide attacks targeting a wedding, a hospital and a funeral in northeastern Nigeria on Saturday (Jun 29), said local officials.
According to the head of the local state emergency management agency, a series of attacks by suspected female suicide bombers took place in Nigeria’s northeastern Borno state leading to the death of 18 people. There have also been injuries to 42 people of which 19 are seriously wounded.
The region has been at the centre of a 15-year Islamist insurgency that has killed thousands of people and led to the displacement of millions of others. The group at the centre of this violence, Boko Haram, did not immediately claim responsibility for the string of attacks.
