BREAKING News: Many Reportedly Killed as Two Suicide Bombers Hit Mosque in Borno

Posted by Odinaka on Fri 08th Jul, 2016 - tori.ng

Some worshipers have been killed on Friday after two suicide bombers attacked the Damboa central mosque in Borno State.

Two suicide bombers have attacked the Damboa central mosque in Borno state in the wee hours of Friday as six worshipers were reportedly killed.

Sani Usman, the acting director of public relations of the Nigerian Army, confirmed this in a statement, saying that one of the bombers successfully detonated while the other insurgent was said to have “exploded” after being prevented from detonating.

“At the early hours of today, precisely at about 5.15am, two Boko Haram terrorists suicide bombers attacked Damboa.

“The first suicide bomber targeted Damboa Central Mosque but due to stringent security measures, he could not gain entry. Obviously frustrated, he exploded and died near the Central mosque.

“However, the second bomber veered off and gained entry into another smaller mosque and detonated the bomb killing himself and 6 other worshipers and injuring one other person.

"The wounded has been evacuated to a hospital while efforts are on to clear the rubbles. Troops and other security agencies have been mobilized to the area,” he said.
