More than 50 people have been killed and several dozens injured Tuesday morning in a suicide attack at a mosque in the northeastern Adamawa state of Nigeria, according to The Independent.
“At around 5.20 a.m. [0420 GMT] today, a boy around 17 years of age detonated a suicide vest shortly after the commencement of the morning prayers at a mosque in Mubi town, killing over 30 people including himself,” Othman Abubakar, a police spokesman, had previously said.
Despite government's claim of having defeated the group, Boko Haram continues its deadly attacks on soft targets, mostly using suicide bombers and skeletal attacks in isolated areas of the region.
On Sunday, six farmers were shot dead and then mutilated at a plantation in Borno state.
