Deputy Governor and Shehu of Borno escape bomb attack

A suicide bomber blew himself up near the Maiduguri Central Mosque in the capital city of Borno State, killing himself and at least five others.

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.

      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.

    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.

      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
