Explosion Rocks Kano Central Mosque

Reports we are monitoring indicate that an Improvised Explosive Device, IED, has gone off at the Central Mosque, Kano just as the Muslim faithful were observing the Juma’at prayers on Friday afternoon.

The Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, who usually leads prayers at the Mosque, was reportedly absent when the explosion occurred.

Details of casualties are still sketchy as of the time of publishing this report but many people are feared dead.

No group has claimed responsibility yet for the attack.

Details later…
