Nigeria troops repel suicide attack

Dozens of would-be suicide bombers have been killed as Nigerian troops repelled an attack in the troubled north-eastern state of Borno, the army says in a statement.

“Rocket propelled grenades, bombs and over 12 rifles were captured from the attackers,” it added.

It comes after scores of people were killed in two separate attacks last night in Yola and Maiduguri blamed on the Boko Haram militant group.
