A suicide bomber, yesterday, sneaked into a mosque along Ali Kotoko Road, near Monday Market in Maiduguri, Borno State capital, leaving 26 dead and 28 critically injured, security sources assisting in the evacuation of victims said. The incident took place at about 3:45pm when Muslim faithful gathered to perform their afternoon prayer. Unconfirmed sources, however, revealed that apart from the mosque explosion, another blast rocked some area of the Monday Market with fewer casualty figure. The incidents came barely 12 hours after Boko Haram gunmen were repelled by the military in Maiduguri, which also claimed many lives. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/26-worshippers-dead-28-injured-in-maiduguri-mosque-attack/#sthash.A5VvOXEz.dpuf
