Many people are believed killed and scores of others injured from multiple suicide attacks from suspected Boko Haram insurgents in two of the Internally Displaced Person camp located along Barma road, Maiduguri, Bornu State.
According to eye witness accounts, three different explosions occurred around the camps on Sunday night with a fourth explosion taking place in the early hours of Monday.
An official said they counted at least four corpses while at least 13 people were injured from the attacks.
The spokesperson of the Civilian-JTF, Bello Danbatta, told Journalists on the phone that the attack started at about 10.15 p.m. on Sunday.
“We evacuated at least four corpses and 13 injured last night when the suicide bombers sneaked into Dalori camp,” he said.
“The first attacker made it into the camp and blew himself up killing and injuring the IDPs.
“The second one exploded when the attacker, a female, was attempting to climb the perimeter fence of the second IDP camp known as Dalori (2). The third one blew off outside the fence of Dalori (1).
“We just had the fourth one this (Monday) morning and we are heading there to evacuate the casualties.”
