No fewer than 15 people were killed at Shagalinku, a restaurant in Jos, patronised by prominent people and scene of one of the twin blasts that rocked the city on Sunday night.
The death toll at a crowded mosque, and scene of the second blast has not been ascertained yet.
There was no immediate official word on the Sunday night blasts or any claim of responsibility. But people blamed Boko Haram, the Nigerian Islamic extremist group that has exploded bombs in the past that killed hundreds in Jos.
The explosion at Yantaya Mosque came as leading cleric Sani Yahaya of the Jama’atu Izalatul Bidia organization, which preaches peaceful co-existence of all religions, was addressing a crowd during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, according to survivors.
They said they did not know how many worshippers were killed.
