Tragedy struck again as a male suicide bomber on Thursday night detonated two bombs in a mosque at molai outskirts of Maiduguri metropolis, killing about 30 people.
Eyewitness said the suicide bomber arrived at the mosque when Muslim faithful were observing their Magrib prayer at about 6:10pm on Thursday evening and detonated the bombs.
Ali Bukar, a member of the Civilian JTF, told our correspondent that many Muslims were just observing their Magrib prayer at the mosque when the blasts occurred.
“People started running up and down, motorists and keke NAPEP operators rushed out of the area with their families. There was confusion everywhere. The sound caused panic among everyone around the area.“You need to see how residents were running, some even had to park their belongings and leave the area as nobody knows what will happen next. But we are yet to get the details of what happened and how many people were killed and how many were wounded exactly. But I gathered that about 30 people have died in the attack,” Bukar said.
