Explosions in and around a mosque in northeast Nigeria killed at least 24 people on Tuesday, police said. This is the second time in six months that dozens have been killed in an attack on a Mubi mosque. In November, a teenage suicide bomber attacked worshippers as they gathered for morning prayers, killing at least 50 people in one of the region's deadliest assaults in years. "As I am talking to you now, 24 persons are confirmed dead and the scene is cordoned off by anti-bomb squads and other security personnel," said Adamawa state police spokesperson Othman Abubakar. The jihadist group on Thursday carried out an attack in Maiduguri, capital of neighbouring Borno state, that killed four people.
