Scores injured in Boko Haram suicide bombing in northeast Nigeria

A child suicide bomber detonated his explosives, killing himself, two other bombers and six people in northeast Nigeria. Boko Haram has claimed this latest attack. The attack in Benin-sheikh in Borno State happened around 8:30 pm on Sunday when three suspected suicide bombers aged between 10 and 15 years, were stopped for security screening by civilian vigilantes in the area. The defence headquarters said in a statement on Monday that Boko Haram had devised other means of inflicting harm on innocent citizens. Boko haram has been muffled by recent military operations by Nigeria, Cameroon and Niger. However, they still conduct deadly sporadic attacks especially in North-eastern Nigeria.
