DHAKA: At least 50 people were killed in a suicide bombing on a mosque in northeast Nigeria, reports Sky News.

The teenage bomber detonated his explosives early on Tuesday (November 21) in Adamawa state as people were arriving for morning prayers.

Police spokesman Othman Abubakar told AP the young man was mingling among the worshippers.

While there was no immediate claim of responsibility, suspicion immediately fell on Boko Haram.

The Islamic extremist group is based in neighboring Borno state and has been blamed for scores of similar attacks.
