On Friday 16 February 2018, a triple suicide bombing occurred in Konduga, Borno State, northeastern Nigeria.^[1] Two suicide bombers detonated their explosives at a busy fish market at about 8:30pm.^[1] Four minutes later, a third bomber exploded nearby.

The attacks killed between 17^[2] and 22^[1] people and injured between 22^[2] and 70.^[3] One of the bombers was female, while the other two were male. Those injured in the attack were taken to a hospital in Maiduguri.^[2]

The incident was not reported until the next day.^[4] No-one claimed responsibility for the attack, but jihadists Boko Haram have carried out major attacks in Konduga before (including massacres in January and February 2014 ) and since (including a triple suicide bombing in June 2019).^[1]
