BEVERLY HILLS, November 27, (THEWILL) – A suicide bomber has hit a Shia Muslim procession which had hundreds of people in the outskirts of Kano, northern Nigeria.
The Boko Haram which claimed responsibility for the attack that killed 22 people, said in a statement in Arabic on social media that the attacker “detonated his explosives which led to the death” of the victims on Friday.
“And by the permission of Allah these attacks of ours against Shi’a polytheists will continue until we cleanse the earth of their filth,” it warned in the Saturday post.
Thirty-eight persons were injured in the attack, which occurred in the village of Dakasoye, about 20 kilometers from Kano’s capital city, Kano, according to organisers of the procession.
