Lagos, Ramadan 11, 1436, June 28, 2015, SPA -- Five people were killed Saturday in north-eastern Nigeria when three female suicide bombers detonated explosives in the city of Maiduguri, one of the leaders of a local civilian vigilante group said, according to dpa. Two members of the vigilante group stopped the women for a search in front of a hospital, said the source, who did not want to be named. The women detonated their bombs, killing themselves and the two guards. More than 10 people, including other members of the vigilante group and bystanders, were injured. The women were not believed to have planned to target the hospital, but were on their way somewhere else when they were stopped by the guards, the source said. The vigilante group had been set up to help the army combat the radical group Boko Haram. --SPA 13:12 LOCAL TIME 10:12 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
