Scenes of bloodshed and devastation have become common in northeast Nigeria, where a jihadist insurgency has raged since 2009 \u00a9 AFP \/ AUDU MARTE<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n

KANO, Nigeria, May 2 – Suicide bombers killed more than 60 people at a mosque and a market in northeast Nigeria on Tuesday, in a twin attack bearing the hallmarks of Boko Haram and a day after US President Donald Trump pledged greater support to fight the Islamist militants.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The blasts, said to have been carried out by young boys, happened shortly after 1:00 pm (1200 GMT) in Mubi, some 200 kilometres (125 miles) from the Adamawa state capital, Yola.<\/p>\n

Imam Garki, from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), said a joint assessment with the police and Red Cross found that 26 people were killed and 56 were injured, 11 of them critically.<\/p>\n

They were transferred to the Federal Medical Centre in Yola for treatment.<\/p>\n

But a medical source at the Mubi General Hospital said they had received 37 bodies, while a rescue worker involved in the relief operation said he counted 42 dead and 68 injured.<\/p>\n

“These I saw with my own eyes. We were counting as they were being taken,” said Sani Kakale.<\/p>\n

Two local residents who attended funerals for the victims said the death toll was much higher — and could climb further.<\/p>\n

“Before I left the cemetery I took part in the burial of 68 people. More bodies were being brought by families of the victims,” said Muhammad Hamidu.<\/p>\n

“I think this is the worst attack Mubi has ever witnessed. The human loss is unimaginable.”<\/p>\n

Abdullahi Labaran added: “We left 73 freshly dug graves where each victim was buried. There are still unclaimed bodies at the hospital.<\/p>\n

– US support –<\/p>\n

Conflicting death tolls are not unusual in Nigeria. The authorities have also previously played down casualty figures.<\/p>\n

Suspicion for the attack immediately fell on Boko Haram, the jihadist group whose quest to establish a hardline Islamic state in northeast Nigeria has left at least 20,000 dead since 2009.<\/p>\n

Mubi has been repeatedly targeted in attacks blamed on Boko Haram since it was briefly overrun by the militants in late 2014.<\/p>\n

Nigeria’s government and military have long maintained that the Islamic State group affiliate is a spent force and on the verge of defeat.<\/p>\n

But there has been no let-up in attacks in the northeast, particularly in Borno state, adjacent to Adamawa, which has been the epicentre of the violence.<\/p>\n

Last Thursday, at least four people were killed when suicide bombers and fighters attempted to storm the Borno state capital, Maiduguri, raising fresh questions about security.<\/p>\n

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has been in the United States this week and met his US counterpart Donald Trump, who pledged more support in the fight against Boko Haram.<\/p>\n

Nigeria has bought a dozen A-29 Super Tucano light fighter aircraft in a $496-million (413-million-euro) deal.<\/p>\n

Trump indicated a further order for attack helicopters was also in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

“These new aircraft will improve Nigeria’s ability to target terrorists and protect civilians,” Trump told a joint news conference with Buhari in Washington on Monday.<\/p>\n

The sale of the aircraft was previously blocked by the Obama administration after the Nigerian airforce mistakenly bombed a camp for people displaced by Boko Haram, killing 112.<\/p>\n

US military officials in Abuja have recently questioned Nigerian tactics faced with guerilla tactics from Boko Haram.<\/p>\n

“How they think in terms of combat, in my opinion, is still thinking of things as conventional warfare,” Lieutenant-Colonel Sean McClure, the US defence attach\u00e9 in Abuja, told AFP last month.<\/p>\n

– Chaotic scenes –<\/p>\n

In Mubi, local volunteer Habu Saleh, who was involved in the rescue effort, described the aftermath of the bombing as “chaos”.<\/p>\n

Health workers from the hospital mobilised to attend to the victims, despite being on strike over pay and conditions.<\/p>\n

Abdullahi Labaran said the first bomber mingled with worshippers who had gathered for prayers at the mosque at the edge of the market.<\/p>\n

He detonated his explosives “five minutes before the prayer started”, he added.<\/p>\n

The second bomber blew himself up among the crowds of worshippers, traders and shoppers as they fled the first explosion.<\/p>\n

On November 21, 2017 at least 50 people were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up in a mosque during early morning prayers in the Unguwar Shuwa area of Mubi.<\/p>\n

In October 2012, at least 40 people were killed in an attack on student housing in Mubi that was widely blamed on Boko Haram.<\/p>\n

In June 2014, at least 40 football supporters, including women and children, died in a bomb attack after a match in the Kabang area of the town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
