Four female suicide bombers detonated devices, one of which was activated when the woman was approached by a Civilian Joint Task Force member.

Boko Haram is an Islamic extremist group which started attacking the country in 2009 and has previously attacked a university and police headquarters.
Twelve of those killed were Civilian Joint Task Force members and the other seven were civilians, the Borno State Commissioner of Police Damian Chukwu said.
