50 Dead in Suicide Bombing

Wednesday, November 22, 2017

At least 50 people in northeastern Nigeria are dead according to reports from Nigerian police. An apparent teen suicide bomber blew himself up in a mosque in northeastern Nigeria on Tuesday.

This is the biggest mass killing in Nigeria this year and it is being attributed to militant group Boko Haram.

Abubakar Othman, a police spokesman in Adamawa state, was quoted in a Reuters report as saying that the death toll is at least 50, but “there could be more as those seriously injured could add to the figure.”
