Many killed in suspected roadside bomb in Nigeria

An explosion, suspected to have been caused by a roadside bomb, has killed at least 25 people in Nigeria.

The deaths, near the town of Mubi in Adamawa state, included 5 soldiers, according to a government spokesperson.

Mubi was recaptured from Boko Haram militants by the Nigerian military this week and the army has now imposed a 24 hour curfew.

The latest deaths come days after suicide bombings killed at least 78 people in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state.
