At least four people have been killed and several others wounded due to a bomb explosion in Maiduguri on Friday.
A Maiduguri resident and eyewitness said the blast occurred near a local Mosque while people were finishing Friday prayers.
“There was a loud blast near the mosque just after the Friday prayers as people were trooping out of the mosque. Everybody scampered to safety, leading to a stampede,” the resident said.
According to Lt. Colonel Hassan Mohammed, the Nigerian Joint Security Task Force Spokesman, no further details have yet been discovered.
