There was pandemonium on Friday at about 2.pm as the police discovered
13 explosive devices planted in a mosque in Nassarawa Local Government Area of
Kano State.
The incident occurred when Muslims were preparing to observe their Jumat
prayers.
The Kano State Police Public Relations Officer, Musa Majiya, said on the phone that if the explosives had went off, it would have
led to the death of no fewer than 130 people.
He said the discovery of the bombs followed a tip-off by a boy who
noticed strange movements by some persons suspected to be members of the Boko
Haram sect.
Majiya said after conducting a thorough search at the mosque, the police
discovered the explosive devices.
He, however, said one of the explosives detonated itself, but killed no
one.
