LAGOS, Aug. 15 -- Scores of people were feared killed by suspected Boko Haram suicide bombers at a market in the village of Konduga in northeast Nigeria's Borno State, multiple sources said late Tuesday.

An emergency source who spoke on condition of anonymity said that dozens of people were killed and others injured.

Lagos-based Vanguard newspaper however reported that at least 27 people were killed and while 83 were wounded in northeast Nigeria on Tuesday, quoting local sources.

According to the newspaper, a woman bomber blew herself up and killed 27 others at a market in the village of Konduga near Maiduguri.
