The Police commissioner told the media that a Peugeot 406 car rigged powerful explosives had been discovered neatly tucked at the gate of Isiayaku Rabiu Mosque in Goro Dutche quarters in the city. The car had been timed to explode during Eid Fitr’s prayers on Sunday (today).



The Nigeria police in Kano today said it averted a major catastrophe in Kano, Nigeria as its Explosive Ordinance Disposal unit de-activated a powerful bomb targeting Muslim faithfuls observing the Sallah break.

Briefing newsmen on the discovery of what he described as high-caliber car bomb, the state commissioner of police Mr. Adenrele Shinaba said the causality figure would have been so alarming had the bomb exploded at a time when tens of thousands of Muslims were observing their Eld-El-Fitr prayer at the Mosque.
