Police spokesperson Nahum Daso stated that preliminary investigations suggest the incident may have been a suicide bombing, based on the recovery of fragments of a suspected suicide vest and witness statements. Bomb disposal teams cordoned off the area and conducted sweeping operations.

Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum condemned the attack as "utterly condemnable, barbaric and inhumane," stating that attacking a place of worship is a desecration of its sanctity. He urged heightened vigilance in places of worship and public spaces during the festive season.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, though the use of suicide bombers has been heavily attributed to Boko Haram. Analysts say the group's use of suicide bombers has subsided over the past few years, but it still has the capacity to launch such attacks.

Maiduguri has been at the heart of an armed rebellion waged by Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province for nearly two decades. The conflict has killed at least 40,000 people and displaced about two million from their homes since 2009, according to the United Nations.

Maiduguri itself has been calm in recent years, with the last major attack recorded in 2021. However, concerns are growing about a resurgence of violence in parts of the northeast, where armed groups remain capable of mounting deadly attacks despite years of sustained military operations.
