No fewer than 9 people were killed by a suicide bomber  and 12 others were injured on Friday in an attack on a mosque in Damboa, northeastern Nigerian during early morning prayers, a military source said.

 

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack in the town of Damboa, which is in Borno state, but it bore the hallmarks of Islamist militant group Boko Haram.

A member of a grassroots civilian joint task force set up to defend local people against Boko Haram also confirmed Friday's attack on the mosque.
