BEVERLY HILLS, January 27, (THEWILL) – Two female suicide bombers have attacked a mosque in Gwoza, Borno state, killing a 12-year-old boy and injuring thirteen others.
Reports stated that the female bombers tried to force their way into the mosque during the early morning prayers before some persons in the neighborhood raised an alarm.
Some residents suspect that the suicide bombers might have infiltrated the town during a wedding which held at the palace of the Emir of Gwoza on Saturday.
The incident happened at Guduf Nagadiyo in Bulabaulin, Gwoza. Soldiers from 192 battalion of the Nigerian Army later cordoned off the mosque.
Borno has been the worst hit in the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks in the north-east as many villages have been attacked by Boko Haram insurgents.
