A bomb blast occured at the Central Mosque in Kano at about 2pm, as Muslims were having their Friday prayers on November 28, 2014.

The Kano Central Mosque is close to the emir’s palace. The Emir of Kano Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is believed to be inside the mosque, as he usually leads the prayers on Fridays.
