“At the early hours of today, precisely at about 5.15am, two Boko Haram
terrorists suicide bombers attacked Damboa. The first suicide bomber
targeted Damboa Central Mosque but due to stringent security measures,
he could not gain entry.
Obviously frustrated, he exploded and died near the
Central mosque. However, the second bomber veered off and gained entry
into another smaller mosque and detonated the bomb killing himself and 6
other worshipers and injuring one other person. The wounded has been
evacuated to a hospital while efforts are on to clear the rubbles.
