Maiduguri, October 23: The terror groups have become so much active in Africa that countries like Nigeria, Somalia keep facing terror attacks regularly. The northeastern city of Nigeria, Maiduguri got hit by female suicide bombers. It is also a common trend of terrorists in Africa to use female or child as suicide bombers. The attack has killed more than a dozen.

During the dinner time near a small restaurant in the capital of Borno state, the first suicide bomber detonated explosive. Then the attack was followed by two more. As per the local report the attacks came hours after reports of sighting of a lot of Boko Haram members outside the city.

Though no one has claimed responsibility for the attack till now, Boko Haram is being suspected of the attack. Boko Haram insurgency has become an unending problem in the country. The terror group wants to create a strict Islamic state in the majority Muslim north.

An international human right advocacy group recently reported since April, 223 civilians lost their lives due to terror attacks. But it is feared that real figure may be higher, as some attacks may have gone unreported.
