The Islamic Movement in Nigeria, which comprises members of the Shi’ite ideology, has given insight into how a suicide bomber disguised as one of its members and blew himself up during a procession in Kano, killing 20 people.
Members of the group were on their annual Arba’een symbolic trek from Kano to Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah ground in Zaria, Kaduna State, when the bomber struck.
The media team leader of the 2015 Arba’een symbolic trek, Ibrahim Usman, in a statement, said the incident occurred at Dakasoye village area of Garun Mallam local goverment Kano state on Friday, at around 2:30pm.
Mr. Usman said 20 people died from the blast, while several others were injured.
In a separate statement posted on the website of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Mr. Usman said there were two bombers in the midst of the trekkers, but one was apprehended before he could detonate his explosive vest. “Sign of the incident was first reported when a suspected bomber was arrested with a round of bomb belt tied to his waist in Kura town,” the statement said. He said upon interrogation, the arrested bomber confessed that two of them were sent from Mubi in Adamawa State to Sambisa and finally Gwammaja Quarters in Kano on a suicide mission to kill Shi’ites during the Arba’een trek.
“While manhunt for the second bomber on the loose was going on, the bomber detonated the bomb among the trekkers. Scores of Brothers and Sisters, including children were killed. Among the dead was the bomber whose only remain was his chest and head,” the statement said. The statement added that two leaders of the movement Muhammad Turi and Sayyed Mustapha who arrived the scene, ordered evacuation of the dead and injured to ease traffic congestion.
The statement added that the symbolic trek had since continued as normal.

Too bad, in the name of going to heaven to enjoy everlasting life nobody is sure of. Brain washing is one of the highest tools to deceive gullible people.

Yes, everybody blames islam when terrorism happens but fail to blame the promoter of terrorism. Ask them, where they were when America deceived the world to say iraq had weapon of mass destruction and went to Iraq to bomb millions of innocent people, removed sadam and plugged the country into terrorist state and today they control ther oil, what about Libya, Afganistan, syria. All the bombs boko haram are using where are they produced . America. russia control 56% of world ammunition, then france, china, uk etc. Why can,t they deny them the bombs. Who were the ISIS, the leader abubakar baghdad nicknamed was once an america agent, worked for CIA. Then why are deceiving oneselves b/c they control the media.

Now. you blame the Americans for terrorism, why would nigerians now bomb nigerians in annoyance with yakees? Stupid talk! Let's look inward, these are almajiris whose parents had since dumped for the islamic teachers who had neither food, clothing nor shelter to give, the almajiris grow with their frustration about life on earth, and therefore fall prey to preachers who make them believe anyone who kills and die for "Allah" will live a better life in aljana, a place the preachers have never been to and a place the preachers won't wanna rush to! Like it or not, this is an aspect of islam.

Brothers be comforted, I can see a day, and it won't be long when Islam will be eradicated from the earth; a beautiful happy world. Good will always triumph over evil.
