50 die as terrorists bomb Yobe

 No fewer than 50 Muslim worshippers died while many others were severely injured as multiple explosions rocked the commercial town of Potiskum in Yobe State last night.

Two of the explosions reportedly occurred in two different mosques where Muslim faithful were observing the last prayer for the day.


One of them is the popular mosque called Kalli Alkali Mosque, very close to the palace of the Emir of Potiskum.

The bombs, believed to have been planted by Boko Haram terrorists, went off in some parts of the town at about 7:30pm when Muslim worshippers were observing the last prayer for the day
