Police says, a 10-year-old cattle herder has been killed in

Islamists forcibly strapped around his body.
The police also added that the boy's younger brother was injured in

Maiduguri. According to reports, the two children came in contact with
the Boko Haram militants while grazing their animals.

him not to tell anyone about it and not remove it until he got
home. They returned home and the death and injuries were caused while
unstrapping the vest.

carry out attacks around Maiduguri in the past few months. So far,
police say that 76 suicide attacks were carried out between March and
