A suicide bomber has killed 14 people and injured 24 others in an attack believed to be targeted at internally-displaced persons in Dikwa, Borno State.
The Borno State Emergency Management Agency says it has evacuated 14 corpses and 24 injured people from the scene of the attack, which occurred late on Friday.
The Chairman of the council, Alhaji Rawa Modu, confirmed the attack to newsmen in Maiduguri on Saturday.
Modu, who visited some of the victims, said that the suicide bombers infiltrated into the camp and detonated explosives.
“Two female suicide bombers attacked the 24 Housing estate at about 9: 30 p.m on Friday.
Modu said that the council had distributed metal detectors to members of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) to enhance security at the camp.
The Police and military authorities were yet to comment on the incident.
