Twin Bomb Blasts Hit Maiduguri Mosque, Kill Many by Ebubeslym(m): 9:40am On Oct 23, 2015
Another early morning bomb attack has
occurred in a mosque in Maiduguri, Borno
state, killing and injuring many worshippers
during the early morning prayer session,
witnesses said.
The blasts, according to residents occurred
in Jiddari Polo area at about 5am when
Muslims were performing the first
congregational prayer of the day.
Details of casualties are still sketchy as
security officials have cordoned the area
while rescue and aide workers tried to
evacuate corpses and injured victims.
But a spokesman of the local Civilian-JTF,
Abbas Gava, told PREMIUM TIMES that “it was
two bomb explosion in a mosque in Jiddari
Polo, very close to the Federal High Court
complex. We are still trying to get the correct
figure of casualties”.
PRNigeria, an agency that 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 PRNigeria 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.
