At least four people have been killed and several others wounded due to a bomb explosion in Maiduguri on Friday.
A Maiduguri resident and eyewitness said the blast occurred near a local Mosque while people were finishing Friday prayers.
"There was a loud blast near the mosque just after the Friday prayers as people were trooping out of the mosque. Everybody scampered to safety, leading to a stampede," the resident said.
According to Lt. Colonel Hassan Mohammed, the Nigerian Joint Security Task Force Spokesman, no further details have yet been discovered. "It's true there was a blast near Monday market while people were leaving the mosque. We don't have details yet," said Lieutenant Colonel Hassan Mohammed.
This blast comes as no surprise, as the Islamist sect Boko Haram has been raging serious war within this Northern Nigerian region, carrying out a string of explosions - killing and wounding hundreds along the way.
On Christmas day this year, the sect claimed responsibility for bombing a Catholic Church near Abuja, where at least 42 people were killed.
Threats of new attacks for the new year have also been made by the group, who is seeking to enforce Sharia, Islamic law, throughout all of Nigeria.

this boko haram of a group are real mischief makers,so they have now resorted into bombing musque so as to make people believe that the christians have launched a reprisal attack on them. we are no fools and i like what the JTF commander in maidugri who happened to be a muslim and from the north said" he said that he is blaming the boko haram for the attack on the musque meaning that he also saw things they i saw it. GOD is alive and must punish all this demon in the name of boko haram.

You people did not even understand the joke there. They (boko haram) did not detonate the bomb at the mosque for people to believe that christians have come out for literation, but they detonated it so that even the christians will think that they the boko haram are not only against them the christians but also the muslims in general because their mind must have told them what will happen to them from the christians. But if we the christians should believe their tricks, it means that they have not been able to convince us because we can not compare 4 dead muslims with 42 dead christians before we talk about the numerous casulties who are still dying in the hospital. So let them not fool us with those tricks and wait for what the God of literation will do to them because I strongly believe that He is not asleep.

i can remember Bush's first statement after 911.... "these men has committed a crime against humanity.......we will bring them to justice or we take justice to them" That heartfelt statement was backed up with consistent action that led to the crack down on OSAMA BIN LADIN...even when he was no longer in power, that statement was accomplished......Mr. President should learn how to inspire confidence not fear.....WE CAN"T LIVE WITH BUMBING
