At least 53 people were killed in a series of explosions that targeted churches around the Nigerian cities of Zaria and Kaduna, Shehu Sani, president of the Civil Rights Congress, whose organization is helping in rescue operations, said.

“The figure represents bodies counted by our members and reports from people near where the blasts occurred,” Sani said today. “We need figures from the hospitals to ascertain the total number of victims.”
