Twin suicide bombings by suspected Boko Haram fighters have killed at least five people in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri, officials and witnesses said.
Civilian self-defence fighter Dan Batta told The Associated Press news agency that two suicide bombers tried to enter a refugee camp, which houses more than 16,000 people fleeing fighting between the Boko Haram group and government forces.
The first blast went off around 7am local time (06:00GMT), Batta said.
He said a second blast came about half an hour later and about a kilometre away when a tricycle taxi carrying at least two people exploded.
Residents saw bodies being carried into an ambulance, the Reuters news agency reported.
