At

least four people were killed when Boko Haram suicide bombers attacked northeast Nigeria’s biggest city, the emergency services said yesterday, as residents returned home. Violence broke out on the outskirts of Maiduguri on Thursday night, with indications the militants were attempting to reach the city’s Giwa Barracks, where suspected militants are held.“There were innocent citizens, four of them, who died. Very few people were injured,” said Bashir Garga, from the National Emergency Management Agency. (AFP)
