Many people are feared dead following bomb blasts in Mubi town, Adamawa, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
Confirming the incident, the chairman of Mubi North Local Government, Alhaji Musa Bello, said the blasts occurred around 1 30 pm.
Bello said: “All I can tell you for now is that I am on my way to the scene to help in evacuation of casualties. Nobody can tell you the number of dead and injured for now.”
The Executive Secretary of Adamawa State Emergency Agency, Haruna Furo, also confirmed the blast but said there were no details for now.
A resident of Mubi, who simply identified as Buba, said the two explosions occurred in a mosque and a second hand clothes market.
Buba said: “The blasts occurred at the Gwonjo market and a mosque about 20 meters away.”
NAN reports a blast at a mosque in the town in November 2017 killed about 50 people.
