It was gathered that among the dignitaries that were observing Friday prayers at the mosque were Deputy Governor Zannah Mustaphar and the Shehu of Borno, Abubakar Kyari. Both men were evacuated alive after the attack. It is not yet clear if any was injured.
Several other people were injured in the attack, and have been taken to nearby hospitals.
Witnesses said a boy of about the age of 15 was noticed walking towards the two dignitaries as they exited the mosque after the prayers.
Security aides were said to be suspicious of the manner in which the boy approached the two men, and tried to apprehend him, while shielding the VIPs.
At that moment, the bomb was detonated. Security officials said five people have been confirmed dead so far in the blast, with two soldiers among the critically wounded.
“Five people have been killed and six others injured in the Maiduguri Central Mosque suicide bomb attack,” said Sagir Musa, spokesperson for the Joint Task Force in the state.

hey God, when would this end...
Very very sad! These bombings and deaths are extremely difficult for us to bear! Don’t like thinking of this; especially the recent NYSC posting mess. God, please give us all the strength and fortitude to bear these losses. Help Nigeria as a country. It can be disheartening when something like this occurs and we can’t even get to the root of the problem, to prevent it further. Lord help us. I implore you all to stay faithful.
God bless.

I begi ! This one was staged! How come they missed. If na church they will be right on target. Mchewwww.
Now i don't think this is a religious war. there is something behind this killings. Because if it wer considered a religious war against the Christians why kill der fellow Muslim brothers too?? This is just plain stupidity.
Jesus....this is really sad

@willadebo
Thank God suicide bombing is now in mosques.The so called moslem elites and islamic scholars will begin to do something about it. Before now, it was none of their business.
The tables are turning. What goes around comes around. What do you expect when you don't take these bomb blast issues seriously cos you feel its christians who're suffering.
So dey have nw diverted 2 dia fellow broda's. Interesting let's c hw dis 1 will turn out cos nw I am confused as to ѡĥāţ will warrant dis mission to Ą̸̸̨͡ muslem fam. Boko harem have Ʊȑ say nd pls dnt deny it cos ya'll initiated suicide bombing so am pretty sure u knw abt dis
QF
honestly,no comment
Oh....they escaped!!!!
God help us! Naija which way forward? Is there really an end insight to this conflict?
Hahaha musiclover, it's 72 virgins (possibility of the virgins being men sef)
But seriously, now that BH now wants evryone dead, even their own leaders. Maybe action will finally be taken to stop this inbred bastards!
Nawao
Seriously there's something fishy here. Why didn't they use a car to run into the mosque? If it's a church now, they'll know how to use a car. Mscheew! Nonsense christian murderers.
Na lie! ΤηεΥ just want it to look like they αrε also victims. This Ιs sooo fake. How many churches have they ever missed? BULLSHIT!!! I'm not buying this crap! Diversion, big time.
becoming clear that boko haram is nobody but cia wanting to achieve their aim of failed state by 2015 .
Ade go shop shit your very stupid. See, this one is pure stage managed how come they missed? The first one they were caught and this one they missed. If it were to be a church now they will not miss. Anything less than 50 deaths is not acceptable by christians. If they want christians to trust them pls let them come to Abuja national mosque a lot of ppl to be kill then we will be even. Idiots. Linda if u like post if u don't like na u sabi
I can see y nigeria can Neva move forward...blaming Muslims Christians etc...u can see dat dis BH ppl r after both Muslims and Christians...do u kno how many Muslims r killed da ily in maiduguri...ooh i tot as much cuz its not reported well u ppl blaming religion r stupid..when yahoo boys cheat or sell drugs...do we say Christians?dis tin is LEFT FOR US TO RISE 2geda and FYT DEM...dey r after e very one and if u want to know more Muslims r killed in the north dan Christians...I know because am from Deir....don't blame religion cuz no religion says kill..blame humans...rubbish
Abegi hian this is just to diverts people attention that the war is actually against Christians. Abi how many people died, nonsense which can escape why is there no loss of lives of course their sponsors can afford those vehicles without a thought. They can only fool Goodluck Jona not me
it's very obvious dat dis pipo are muslim why didn't they enter the mosque they want 2 make pipo blive it's not islamic war dat y they did dat fire burn all of dem
