At least 8 killed after suicide bombers hit camps in Nigeria

Eight people have been killed after female suicide bombers attacked two camps hosting internally displaced people (IDP) in Maiduguri, northeastern Nigeria.

The attack started late last night and left 15 others wounded.

Boko Haram often targets the city with suicide bombers and has been using females increasingly.

The latest bombings come a few days after Nigeria's Army Chief of Staff issued a 40-day deadline for troops to flush out Boko Haram's leader and finish off the group.

Attacks carried out by the group have killed more than 20 thousand people, kidnapped thousands of others and created one of the world's largest humanitarian crises.
