At Least 18 People Killed in Multiple Suicide Bombings in Nigeria
Three female attackers detonated devices at a wedding and at a funeral in a city once ruled by Boko Haram, emergency service officials said. So far, no group has claimed responsibility.
As of Sunday afternoon, no group had claimed responsibility for the bombings. The blasts resembled attacks carried out by Boko Haram, whose fighters have killed tens of thousands in Nigeria and whose aggression in the region has led to the displacement of more than two million people.
Boko Haram insurgents have abducted thousands of teenage girls and coerced them into forced marriages. They have also forced many to carry out suicide attacks at schools, markets, religious buildings and large gatherings.
