Dikwa suicide bombings

On February 9, 2016, two female suicide bombers affiliated with Boko Haram detonated their explosives killing more than 60 people and injured 78 others at a camp for displaced people in Dikwa, Nigeria. Officials said five suicide bombers had infiltrated the camp disguised as refugees with two of them, both women between the ages of 17 and 20, setting off their bombs as refugees were queuing for rations. A third bomber refused to kill herself after entering the camp and discovering her relatives were there, while two others also refused to set off their vests and escaped the camp.
