Two Suicide Bombers Attack Near Maiduguri Hospital Moments After VP Osinbajo Arrives in City

 

Two suicide bombers are said to have launched an attack on Wednesday near a hospital in Maiduguri, Borno State shortly after Vice President, Yemi Osinbajoarrived in the city to visit some IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camps.

According to Mail Online, the blast killed the bombers and injured two people.

The report further states:

The hospital is one of the few public buildings in an area called Molai, which is on the outskirts of Maiduguri and where security is not always as tight as in the centre of the state capital of Borno.

Osinbajo was visiting a camp about 10 km (6 miles) away that houses some of the 1.5 million people displaced by Boko Haram during the militant group's six-year fight to establish an Islamic caliphate in the northeast.
