44 people were killed in twin bomb explosions that rocked a crowded mosque and an elite Muslim restaurant in Nigeria's central Jos on Sunday, officials said.
The blasts at the Yantaya Mosque and Shagalinku restaurant also wounded 67 others, the National Emergency Management Agency co-ordinator Abdussalam Mohammed said on Monday.
Survivors say prominent cleric Sani Yahaya of the Jama'atu Izalatul Bidia organisation was addressing a crowd during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan when the explosion ripped through the mosque.
There has not been any claim of responsibility for the attacks but Boko Haram militants have claimed previous bomb explosions in the city.
Jos is a hotspot for violent religious confrontations, located in the centre of the country where Nigeria's majority Muslim north and mainly Christian south collide.
Sunday's attacks are the latest in a string blamed on the jihadists who have killed more than 200 people over the past week in northeast Nigeria.
Boko Haram took over a large swath of north-eastern Nigeria last year and stepped up cross-border raids.
A multinational army from Nigeria and its neighbours has pushed the militants out of towns, but hit and run attacks have increased in recent weeks apparently in response to an Islamic State group order for more mayhem during Ramadan.
The extremists pledged allegiance to the IS earlier this year.
