Two female suicide bombers on Tuesday killed three Nigerians in a truck full of refugees in a town in Cameroon’s far north region.

The two female suicide bombers are suspected to be members of the Boko Haram sect.

There was no further information at press time about further casualty figures in the bus attack.

Military sources have said that they believe the bombers’ target was a nearby mosque in Fotokol.

The first bomb went off during a security check and it was unclear if the second bomber had detonated her bomb or whether she had been killed by Cameroonian forces.
