Suicide bombers kill three in Maiduguri, injure 16

Two female suicide bombers killed at least three people and injured 16 in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno, yesterday.



Witnesses said the two women tried to get into a hospital but were stopped by security guards at the gate and blew themselves up.
“We evacuated the charred bodies of the two security guards, another civilian and the two bombers,” said Auwal Mohammed, a member of the community in Molai, where the hospital is situated.
A source at the mortuary of Borno State hospital in Maiduguri confirmed it had received three corpses after the blast.
Another hospital source said 16 people injured in the attack had been brought in.
