According to a Military source,two suicide bombers blew up themselves near a hospital in Maiduguri Nigeria today wednesday,shortly after Vice President Yemi Osinbajo arrived in the city to visit camps for people fleeing a militant Islamist insurgence.The blasts injured two people and it happened around 11:30am near the gates of a hospital where suicide bombers killed three people and injured 16 people last saturday.Mohammed Haruna,a man who helped to evacuate people from the scene said ''The second blast occured two minutes after the first one,killed the bomber and injured two other people nearby''.It was not immediately clear whether the bombers had been targeting the hospital again or whether the bombs had gone off accidently.The hospital is one of the few public buildings in an area called Molai,which is on the out skirts of Maiduguri and where security is not always as tight as in the center of the state capital of Borno.Osinbajo was visiting a camp about 10km {6 milies} away that houses some of the 1.5 million people displaced by Boko Haram during the militant group's six year fight to establish an Islamic caliphate in the northeast.
