"We Will Not Be Intimidated By Terrorists"-Emir Of Kano As He Visits Kano Central Mosque After Bomb Massacre

The Emir of Kano, Muhammed Sanusi II, on Saturday visited the city’s bloodstained central mosque, 24 hours after coordinated bomb and gun attacks there that left at least 200 people dead.
During the 20-minute-visit to the mosque, which adjoins his palace in the city, the emir directed the place be washed and cleaned, an AFP correspondent at the scene reported.
Sanusi was out of Nigeria on Friday, when the deadly assault on the mosque occurred. Last week, the emir — who is the country’s second most senior Muslim cleric — made a call at the same mosque urging civilians to take up arms against the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram.

“From all indications, they (attackers) have been planning this for at least two months,” Sanusi said as he arrived at the mosque straight from the airport. He did not give details on what information supported that assertion.
“I have directed that the mosque be washed and cleaned and prayers should continue here,” he said.
“We will never be intimidated into abandoning our religion, which is the intention of the attackers.”
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan vowed Saturday to hunt down those behind the“heinous” attack.

 

A senior rescue official late Friday gave AFP the preliminary death toll of 120. The official also said that at least 270 people were wounded in the attack, which saw two suicide bombers blow themselves up and gunmen opened fire during weekly prayers at the Grand Mosque in Kano, the biggest city in the mainly Muslim north of the country.

Over 200 Dead In Friday Kano Central Mosque Bomb Massacre

Over 200 people were feared killed in Kano during a multiple bomb blast that rocked the central mosque during Friday prayer.

The attack at the Grand Mosque in Kano, the biggest city in the mainly Muslim north of the country, came just as Friday prayers had got under way.

The mosque is attached to the palace of the Emir of Kano Muhammad Sanusi II, Nigeria’s second most senior Muslim cleric, who just last week urged civilians to take up arms against Boko Haram.

The blasts came after a bomb attack was foiled against a mosque in the northeastern city of Maiduguri earlier on Friday, five days after two female suicide bombers killed over 45 people in the city.

National police spokesman Emmanuel Ojukwu told AFP that the bombers blew themselves up in quick succession then “gunmen opened fire on those who were trying to escape”.

Ojukwu said he did not know whether the suicide bombers were male or female, after a spate of attacks by women in recent months, and did not give an exact figure on the number of gunmen. 

But he said an angry mob killed four of the shooters in the chaotic aftermath.

Worshipper Aminu Abdullahi and local resident Hajara Tukur both said that there were two explosions in quick succession and a third in a nearby road.

A senior rescue official said 64 bodies had been brought to just one Kano area hospital, while 126 people had been admitted with injuries at three facilities.

“Those figures are going to climb,” he said on condition of anonymity, as he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Witnesses say the attack was so massive the number of deaths is in hundreds. Some witnesses, who helped with rescue before police arrived at the scene, said the figures may be as high as 300.

These people woke up this morning with no thought of dying...so it could have been anyone. For how long will this continue? For how long will innocent blood be shed and we fold our arms like everything is ok, or like its normal for people to die daily in this manner? My heart bleeds for this country. Please vote wisely in 2015

INEC To Jail Presidential Candidates Who Spend Above N1bn On Campaign

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it had taken measures to track campaign expenditure incurred by political parties as it lifted ban on election campaigns.
The electoral body said it will sanction presidential aspirants that spend above N1billion on campaign. The Chief Press Secretary to the INEC chairman, Kayode Idowu, on Monday in Abuja stated this in an interview with journalists following the lifting of the ban on election campaigns.

“The sanction for presidential election is N1 million or 12 months imprisonment or both and for governor, N800,000 or nine months or both.

NAN reports that in line with the electoral timetable released by INEC, presidential and National Assembly aspirants of political parties are allowed to commence campaign from November 16.

Similarly, the ban on campaign by governorship and state House of Assembly aspirants is expected to be lifted on November 30.

Idowu said that the commission now had a department to monitor spending of candidates in the 2015 elections.

An eyewitness who identified himself as Terna Tor, said the passenger bus was on top speed from the opposite direction and was trying to overtake another vehicle. It almost  hit the governor ‘s car but for the tactical manoeuvre of the back-up vehicle.

Tor said the back-up vehicle, in an effort to protect the governor, had a head on collision with the commercial, flipped three times and hit a tree in the bush.

The back of the car was badly damaged while the security details sustained serious Injuries and were taken to NAF hospital for treatment.
