More than 10 people were killed when two female suicide bombers blew themselves up at a crowded market in the northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri, police told AFP on Monday.
“Two female suicide bombers detonated an explosive in Monday market in two different locations killing more than 10, and injured many,” Borno state police spokesman Gideon Jibrin said in a text message.
Goni Abba, a witness at the scene, where two female bombers struck just last Tuesday, killing more than 45, said: “I counted 10 dead bodies and over 20 others have injuries.”
