Although the details of the casualties could not be immediately ascertained, but a senior official of the civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) who preferred to remain anonymous in the cause of this report confirmed that the two blasts happened near a mosque in Mulai, some six kilometres away from Maiduguri town along the Maiduguri-Biu highways.
He said: “We have two bomb explosions this evening in Mulai near a mosque there.”
“The bombings happened during prayer time. One cannot immediately give details of the incident but I have sent my boys over there and am still waiting for their report from the scene.”
Premium Times reports however that an unconfirmed report from another official of the civilian JTF, Bamusa, stated that the blasts happened in a mosque during Magrib prayer and many people were killed.
Bamusa said that he had nine injured persons in his trucks at that instant and that he was heading for the hospital to get them treated due to the fact that the injured persons were in bad shape.
The explosions which occurred simultaneously were suspected to have been masterminded by suicide bombers.
Sometime late September, there had been multiple explosions at Ajilari Crossing in Maiduguri, Northeast Nigeria.
Television Continental had reported then that the explosions came a day after the Boko Haram insurgents released a new audio message purportedly from its leader, Abubakar Shekau, who accused the army of lying about successes against the militants.
