News reports out of Maiduguri, Borno State, late Monday evening indicated that 44 worshippers were killed in a dawn attack at a mosque in Konduga, 35 kilometers away from the Maiduguri city.<\/span><\/p>\n

Borno State is one of the 3 states that was placed under emergency rule, by President Goodluck Jonathan.<\/p>\n

The attack according to news reports took place during dawn prayers on Sunday morning, however the embargo on GSM services ensured that news of the attack emerged on Monday.<\/p>\n

Since 2009 Boko Haram has waged an insurgency that has killed thousands of people; however as at the time of filing this report the group had not claimed responsibility for the attack.<\/p>\n

Four members of the Civilian JTF, a vigilante group set up to aid the military in fighting the insurgents were also killed in the attack,<\/p>\n

Earlier on twelve other people were killed at Ngom village, the JTF, state and federal governments were yet to respond to the attacks as at news time.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Abubakar Shekau had earlier claimed the string of attacks on security formations in the state that occurred recently.<\/p>\n
