Nigeria Mosque Blast: At Least Five Killed, Police Suspect Suicide Bombing | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Описание: A tragic explosion ripped through a mosque in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, during evening prayers on Christmas Eve. At least five people were killed and several others injured when a suspected suicide bomber targeted worshippers in the fully-packed Gamboru Market mosque. While no group has yet claimed responsibility, authorities suspect the hand of Boko Haram, a terrorist group notorious for utilising suicide bombers to terrorise Northeastern Nigeria. This latest violence underscores the persistent security crisis facing President Bola Tinubu’s administration. It follows a devastating pattern of coordinated attacks in the region, including last year’s triple suicide bombing in Borno that claimed over 30 lives. Despite the government’s recent pledge to allocate $3.7 billion toward a national security revamp, this attack highlights the significant challenges that remain in ending a nearly two-decade conflict that has displaced millions.
