Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.
The random article for Wednesday, 28 January 2026, is Dikwa suicide bombings.
On February 9, 2016, two female suicide bombers affiliated with Boko Haram detonated their explosives killing more than 60 people and injured 78 others at a camp for displaced people in Dikwa, Nigeria. Officials said three suicide bombers had infiltrated the camp disguised as refugees at about 6:30 am (5:30 GMT) with two of them, both women between the ages of 17 and 20, setting off their bombs as refugees were queuing for rations. A third bomber identified as Hauwa(but not her real name) refused to kill herself after entering the camp and discovering her relatives were there, while two others also refused to set off their vests and escaped the camp.
