At least 8 killed in Nigeria suicide bombing

Eight people were killed when a female suicide bomber detonated her explosives at a mosque in northeast Nigeria, in the latest attack in the region. 

She killed eight people and injured 15 others.
 
The mosque was being guarded by a civilian joint task force during prayers.

The girl was being pursued from another part of town by residents who were suspicious of her movement at the time. 

When she approached the mosque, they demanded that she stop to be searched but she suddenly bolted into the mosque and set off her bombs. 

Three other female suicide bombers were located in Maiduguri at about the same time. 

Two were killed as they tried to cross the ditch around the city perimeter while another set off her explosives in the suburb of Simari.

It is the second time in a week that four female suicide bombers have sought to cause carnage in Maiduguri.
