Version 0 of 1. People are standing with the victims and families in the northeastern Nigerian city of Yola after two suicide bombs claimed 32 lives and injured 80 people. Both explosions struck a market in the Nigerian city of Yola on Tuesday, they are believed to be coordinated by the militant group Boko Haram. One of the suicide bombers was an 11-year-old girl, CNN reports. The militants have reportedly killed more than 2,000 Nigerians this year. They have struck Chad, Niger and Cameroon in recent weeks and have not killed in Nigeria since October, Reuters reports.
Social media users are sharing the hashtag #PrayForNigeria in solidarity with the country that has seen many deadly attacks over recent weeks. Facebook CEO and Founder Mark Zuckerberg also announced that his platform would offer the "Safety" feature, typically reserved for natural disasters. |
