A female suicide bomber blew herself up today at a mobile phone market in northeast Nigeria, killing several people, witnesses said.
The attack happened in the town of Azare in Bauchi state, which neighbours the three states worst hit by attacks from Boko Haram Islamists.
"A suicide bomber came into the market as it was closing and blew herself up in the middle of all the merchants and their customers," a witness said.
"I saw at least eight dead and lots of others wounded," another witness, Alyu Habib, told AFP.
