Bombing victims lie on hospital floor, in Maiduguri

Victims of suicide bombing of, had no respite, despite their pains, as they could not find bed space in the overcrowded Maiduguri hospital where they had been rushed to.

Rescuers simply dumped them on the floor, with many of them bleeding from their severe injuries.

Three women suicide bombers blew themselves up at the entrance to a camp for displaced people in northeast Nigeria, killing 28 people and wounding 82, local sources said.

The attack — the latest in a string of assaults in the troubled region — took place in the town of Mandarari, 25 kilometres (15 miles) from Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, said Baba Kura, a member of a vigilante force set up to fight jihadists.

“Three female bombers triggered their explosive outside of the IDP (internally displaced persons) camp… killing 28 people and wounding 82 others,” Kura said.
