At least 10 worshippers are reported to have died in the early hours of Monday after a female suicide bomber attacked a mosque in Maiduguri, Borno state.

The worshippers went for morning prayers when the suicide bomber struck.

The attack comes barely a day after a ten-year-old Fulani boy herding cattle was killed while his 8 years old younger brother sustained injuries in an explosion from a suicide bomb belt forcefully strapped around the elder’s body by suspected Boko Haram insurgents.
