20 feared dead as Boco Haram hits Nigerian mosque

About 20 persons are said to have died in Maiduguri, Borno State today, December 28, 2015, after a bomb exploded in a mosque.

 

Most of the victims are believed to be residents of the area who gathered around the building to investigate rumours that a bomb had been abandoned there.

 

Maiduguri has been under attack from Boko Haram since yesterday and a female suicide bomber is said to have killed 15 members of a family after they allowed her into their home believing that she was running away from the terrorists.
