Twin blasts hit the city of Jos

The city of Jos in Plateau state has been hit by two blasts on Sunday evening, one at a restaurant and another targeting a Muslim cleric who has disowned Islamist militant group Boko Haram in the past.

Plateau State police spokesman Emmanuel Abuh confirmed there had been two attacks in Jos but had no further details immediately.

A suicide bomber on Sunday killed six people at a church in Potiskum Yobe state capping a week in which suspected Boko Haram insurgents killed more than 200 people
