In an unbelievable turn out of events, a deadly blast has been carried out by a teenage suicide bomber, which had killed at least 50 people, mostly men and boys at a mosque in Mubi town, Nigeria.
The teenager is said to be wearing a suicide bomb vest which he triggered, at the time of their morning prayers at Kunu Araha of Mubi town in Adamawa state. He was reportedly a teenager, a 17-year-old bomber, who entered the mosque in the pretext of attending prayers along with other worshippers, triggered the blast once the prayer is completed.
There is a lot of panic in the state and police personnel had asked the mosque attendees and residents around to stay calm. The area has been cordoned off and is kept in high security. Doctors from private hospitals were also called to support the general hospital staff to keep the injured alive. The hospital is short of blood and making appeals for donations.
Speculations suggest that this act can be part of the Boko Haram group as they were indulged with such attacks in the past. So far, no one claimed responsibility.
In October, three female suicide bombers killed around 13 people and injured 16 in the north-eastern city of Maiduguri in Nigeria.
Since 2009, the Boko Haram conflict has left at least 20,000 people dead and forced more than 2.6 million others to run off from their homes.
