Many feared killed as suicide bombers target Borno Mosque

At least eleven persons were killed and eight others injured as two suicide bombers attacked a mosque in Bama town of Borno State in the early hours of today, officials have said.

The attack comes about three weeks after the Borno State Government sanctioned the return of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to the badly destroyed community which was reclaimed from Boko Haram.

The Sunday attack was the first since the return of Bama IDPs. But it has rekindled public concern on the security around the community, the second largest in Borno State after Maiduguri, the state capital.
