Suicide bombers have hit the
north-eastern Nigerian town of Chibok during market day, killing at least 13
people, reports said.
At least three attackers were
involved, some of them female, witnesses said. More than 30 people were
injured.
It is not yet known who was behind
the attack.
But suspicion is likely to fall on
militants from the Boko Haram Islamist group, who abducted more than 200
schoolgirls from Chibok in 2014.
One of the attackers struck at a
security checkpoint, while another managed to reach the busy market. A third
was identified by residents before detonating explosives close to the market,
the reports said.
