The bombs, suspected to have been planted in the mosque, went off twice as worshipers arrived for prayer in Sulemanti ward, located along Jiddari-Polo area of the Maiduguri city, Xinhua news agency quoted a security official as saying.

"They were heavy blasts, even people living in nearby houses were affected," he added.
