Two female suicide bombers killed at least 22
worshippers in an attack during dawn prayers on
Wednesday in a mosque on the outskirts of the
northeast Nigerian city of Maiduguri, rescue
officials have said.
One bomber blew up inside the mosque and the
second waited outside to detionate as survivors
tried to escape, said coordinator Abba Aji of the
civilian self-defense Vigilante Group.
At least 17 people were wounded and evacuated
to the hospital, said Abdul Mohammed of the
State Emergency Management Agency.
Umar Usman said he escaped because he was
late. “We were just a few metres away from the
mosque when a loud bang erupted and all we
could see was dark smoke and bodies littered
around,” he told The Associated Press.
The mosque is in the Boko Haram stronghold of
Umarari on the outskirts of the city that is the
command centre of the Nigerian military’s war
against Boko Haram Islamic insurgents. Several
suicide bombers have exploded in recent months
at roadblocks leading into the city manned by
the military and vigilantes, indicating success in
preventing attackers from reaching crowded
areas.
It is the first attack on Maiduguri since Dec. 28,
when Boko Haram attacked with rocket-propelled
grenades and multiple suicide bombers, killing at
least 50 people.
