KANO, Nigeria: Two suicide bombers killed four Muslim worshippers in a mosque in a northeast Nigerian town still being rebuilt after virtual destruction by Boko Haram in 2014, sources told AFP on Sunday. The bombers, a man and a woman, detonated their explosives inside the mosque during morning prayers on Saturday in the town of Bama in Borno state. The pair "blew themselves up in a mosque while people were praying" said Baba Shehu Gulumba, Bama local government chairman.
