Over 65,000 People saved from Detected Bomb in Kano Mosque
« on: June 23, 2012, 10:03:38 am »
Tragedy was averted in the Kano metropolis on Friday when the police uncovered a bomb planted in Fagge Juma’at Mosque.

Fagge mosque located on Murtala Muhammad Way in WAPA area of Fagge Local Government is rated second among the big Eid (Sallah prayer) mosques in Kano.

It is beside Fagge Police Division, one of the popular police locations in the city.

The prompt discovery averted what could have been described as the bloodiest terrorist attack in the city since the last Jan 20 coordinated bomb and gun attacks in the city. 

Three suspected Boko Haram members were arrested by the police for planting explosives in the mosque.

The suspected bombers had concealed the high volume Improvised Explosive Device in a plastic bag and entered the mosque undetected. 

They afterwards neatly planted the bomb in the prayer house with capacity of about 15,000 worshipers inside and another 50,000 in its surroundings.
