At least 27 persons died and 64 others injured in a twin bomb blast that hit a mosque and stalls at a busy Kasuwan Gwanjo market in Mubi town.
Eye witnesses said loud explosions ripped through the market at around 1 pm when the market was crowded and traders prepared for noon prayers, leaving behind dismembered bodies of víctims.
Security agents quickly mobilised to the scene and cordoned the scene, turning away sympathisers and people looking for information about their friends and family members.
A staff of the General Hospital in Mubi who did not want his name mentioned because he was not authorised to speak to journalists, said the hospital had so far received 27 corpses and 64 wounded persons. It is not immediately clear if the attack was suicidal.
The military authorities at the 28 Task Force Brigade could not be reached for comment as at press time.
