Kano Mosque Attack: Death Toll Rises To 18

The death toll in the Kano mosque attack has risen to 18, with seven other victims bedridden.

Reacting to the development, the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje has promised to rebuild the mosque.

Ganduje made the pledge during a sympathy visit to the victims at Murtala Mohammed Hospital, Kano, on Thursday.

Reports say that 18 out of 25 victims of the attack have lost their lives, while seven are currently receiving treatment at the hospital.

Ganduje, during the visit, prayed for the repose of the souls of those who have died as a result of the attack and wished those at the hospital quick recovery.

Shafiu Abuvakar, 38, had set the mosque located at Gezawa Local Government Area, ablaze during early morning prayers last week.
