Terror sect, BokoHaram,
yesterday let loose its suicide bombers on worshippers in
Maiduguri and Yola, leaving at least 55 people dead in both attacks. Twenty-eight worshippers
were feared killed during the Fajr (early morning prayer) in a mosque
at Jiddari Polo area of the Borno State capital. Time was 5 am.
Umar
Sani, a civilian vigilante assisting the military in the counter-insurgency,
and local resident Musa Sheriff both told AFP there were two blasts at the
mosque.
“I
was involved in the evacuation. We counted 28 dead bodies apart from the two
bombers, who were identifiable by the mutilation of their bodies,” said Sani.
“Over
20 other people were injured.”
