Bombing in Nigeria- Hannah Niara

       Females suicide bombers have been suspected due to the two explosions this past Saturday in the Nigerian city, Maiduguri. The explosion took place near a refugee camp and a fuel depot. The bombs were targeted at the city's Bakassi Internally Displaced Persons camp. A few minutes after the first bomb the rescue team reported that five people were killed. Ten minutes after this, only a mile away, another bomb set off, leaving 3 more people dead, and 7 injured. All together 9 lives were taken and 24 of them were seriously injured. Although I have never witnessed a bombing I know that the feeling of seeing and witnessing or even being in one must be a terrible feeling. The only way to prevent things like this happening in the future is to set up security that will be  able to detect when others are planting harmful things in places where citizens are everyday. I hope that everyone who was wounded recover fast, and that the families of those who lost their life get there answers as to who did this terrible thing to their loved ones.

  1. This is so sad. I will never understand why you would want to take another person's life. The bombers obviously do not value human life. They are radicalized and believe that what they are doing is right.
