18 Killed In Serial Suicide Bomb Blast In Northeast Nigeria
At least 18 people were killed and 30 were injured in a series of deadly blasts in northeast Nigeria's Borno state, said the officials. One of the suspected bombings killed six people and wounded others during a wedding ceremony on Saturday.
According to the state's emergency management agency, the suspected suicide bombers attacked a wedding, funeral, and a hospital in the town of Gowza, reported BBC.
The state of Borno has been at the centre of a 15-year insurgency by Boko Haram Islamist militants, resulting in the displacement of over two million people and the killing of more than 40,000. The outfit gained notoriety in 2014 when it kidnapped more than 270 schoolgirls from the town of Chibok in the same state.
