Five persons were killed at an internally displaced persons (IDPs) camp in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, on Wednesday.
The Chairman, Borno State Emergency
Management Agency, Mr. Ahmed Satomi, told journalists that at the
Dalori IDP camp five persons were killed in an explosion while 39 others
were injured.
He said one of the suicide bombers
detonated a bomb at the Dalori internally displaced persons camp leading
to the death of five persons.
He added that 39 other persons were injured at the same camp.
Satomi said one of the suicide bombers
sneaked into Dalori quarters but was unsuccessful as the bomb exploded
without killing any other person apart from the bomber.
But the spokesman for the National
Emergency Management Agency for the North-East Zonal Office, AbdulKadir
Ibrahim, said four persons were killed at the IDPs camp and 44 persons
were injured.
Ibrahim told our correspondent that,
“Forty-four people were injured, four killed (two suicide bombers, two
IDPs) at the Dalori IDP camp Maiduguri. The incident occurred about
21.30.”
