Twin bombs have hit a mosque in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, killing and injuring many worshipers during the early morning prayer session, witnesses have said. The blasts occurred in the Jiddari Polo area at about 5am with Muslims gathered to perform the first prayer session of the day. PRNigeria, an agency which distributes press statements on behalf of Nigerian security and rescue agencies, said rescuers from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) had so far evacuated six dead bodies from the scene of the attack.
The agency gathered that the incident occurred during the early Morning Subhi Prayer at a mosque behind Magistrate Court Polo Area in Maiduguri. The agency said “the explosion was carried out by a suspected lone suicide bomber whose two accomplices escaped, when some vigilant members of the community accosted them on their suspicious movements”. It quoted a senior health official as confirming that six bodies had been deposited in the mortuary, while about 17 other injured victims were being treated at the Specialist Hospital and the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital.
