The emir of kano, SLS said that the kano blast was planned for two month. Pls how did he know? And why was he not around when it happened? Here is how dailypost reported it.

Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II yesterday said that Friday’s deadly attack at the Central Mosque at his palace was planned for two months.

Over 120 people were feared dead after two suicide bombers and several gunmen launched the attack during the Juma’at prayers.

The police, however, insisted yesterday that 34 people died and not 125.

The claim contradicts the high number of bodies deposited at mortuaries at Abdullahi Wase Specialist Hospital, Sir Muhammad Sanusi Specialist Hospital, Sheikh Muhammad Jiddah General Hospital, Murtala Muhammed Specialist Hospital and Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital.

Fake Suicide Bomber Arrested.

A fake female suicide bomber was taken into custody by the police in Kano yesterday, following a bomb scare.

An eyewitness told Vanguard that the incident occurred around 12.30p.m. when the police guard on duty at Kwali Police Division suspected a strange middle-aged woman in Burqa (veil) heading to the station.

The account had it that “the strange woman refused to stop for scrutiny, when ordered by the police guard at the security post.”

The encounter at the security post drew the attention of armed personnel, who mobilized themselves and surrounded the strange woman for failing to comply with police order.

The account added that the strange woman said: “I am ready to die. But mark you, there are two others at large in the city.”

A security source, who corroborated the eyewitness account, said: “We acted fast and got her sleeping with a substance fired at her.

“To our surprise, the woman had covered herself with used pomade containers and sundry harmless objects.”

The security source told Vanguard that “preliminary investigation revealed that the strange women is mentally deranged, but would be confirmed by expert”
