BBC News is reporting that at least 25 people are reported to have been killed in an explosion in north-eastern Nigeria’s Adamawa state. The author writes:
“Some reports said the blast was caused by a roadside bomb and occurred near the town of Mubi, close to the Cameroonian border.
This week Mubi was recaptured from Islamist group Boko Haram, which controls many towns in the region.
In April, the group kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls in the town of Chibok, causing international outrage.”
USA Today is reporting that a mosque was destroyed in the explosion, 35 people died and nearly 150 people were injured.
