20 people were killed by a young female suicide bomber at a bus station in Maiduguri, northeast Nigeria, on June 22, 2015. The bomb Tuesday killed 10 people and injured more than 30 others. The bomber detonated her explosives at a weekly market in the Wagir village. Yobe state has repeatedly come under attack by Boko Haram militants. Boko Haram is suspected of carrying out the attack. A day earlier, a 17-year old girl killed 20 people and injured 50 in a suicide attack on a bus station in neighboring Madiguri. President Muhammadu Buhari has made defeating Boko Haram his priority since assuming office on May 29. There is now a four-nation regional military coalition trying to reclaim Nigerian territory seized by the group. The coalition consists of Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon. Buhari told Nigerians on Monday that the country is broke.
