In a second simultaneous attack, two female suicide bombers died and more than a dozen others were wounded.
While there was no immediate claim of responsibility, suspicion immediately fell on the extremist group Boko Haram. Militants from the group have long carried out suicide bombings not only in northeastern Nigeria, but also in neighboring Niger, Chad and Cameroon.
