A bomb blast has hit a central mosque in Nigeria's northeast Yola town, killing at least 27 persons and injuring 96 others, an official of the country's relief agency has said.
"A total of 27 people died while 96 others are receiving medical care at Federal Medical Centre Yola and Specialist Hospital Jimeta (both in Adamawa)," said Sani Datti, spokesman of the National Emergency Management Agency.
Datti said the blast occured during the Muslim Friday prayer ceremonial prayer, or Jum'ah. Yola is the capital city of northeastern Adamawa, one of the three states most hit by Boko Haram violence since 2009.
