The culprits haven't been identified at the time of this report, although the modus operandi fits into the pattern of terrorist sectBoko Haram.
Boko Haram has been waging a war against the Nigerian State since 2009.
The senator representing Kaduna Central in the upper legislative chamber, Shehu Sani says: "The suicide bomb attack on a mosque in Adamawa stands condemned. It's despicable and evil. Again, it demonstrates the irreligious lunacy and coloration of terrorism. Both Muslims and Christians are victims".
According to the BBC, the police suspects Boko Haram as being behind the attack.
Asides Boko Haram, Nigeria is also battling herdsmen attacks in north central States.
