Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan ordered a “full-scale” investigation into explosions at a mosque in the northern city of Kano that killed more than 100 people.
The blasts targeted Muslim worshipers as they gathered for prayers yesterday and left at least 109 people dead, Ibrahim Shehu, a nurse at the Murtala Mohammed General Hospital in Kano, said in an interview. The death toll may rise as the number of casualties is counted at two other hospitals, he said.
