Bombing at Nigeria mosque kills at least 50
LAGOS, Nigeria — A teenage suicide bomber attacked worshippers as they gathered for morning prayers Tuesday at a mosque in northeastern Nigeria, killing at least 50 people, police said, in one of the region’s deadliest assaults in years.
Bloody debris covered the floor inside the mosque in Mubi town in Adamawa state where worshippers had arrived around 5 a.m. Outside, people gathered around the dead.
President Muhammadu Buhari tweeted that he was “saddened by the very cruel and dastardly suicide bombing attack.”
“May the souls of the dead rest in peace,” he added.
