The death toll in the Kano mosque bombing incident has risen to 21.
Osun Defender reports that the bombing which occurred on May 15 at Gadan village, Gezawa Local Government Area
of Kano State, was a result of an inheritance dispute.
It was learnt that four more victims of the incident had died, raising the figure to 21 from the 17 reported last week Tuesday, May 21.
It would be recalled that a total of 25 early-morning worshippers were injured in the attack with one person dead on that day.
Others were rushed to the Muhammed Specialists Hospital, Kano, where they had been receiving treatment, but 20 people have now succumbed to the cold hand of death, leaving only four surviving.
The Chairman of Friends of the Hospital, Alhaji Bature AbdulAziz, revealed the latest development on Thursday when he led some members of the Kano Business Community on a sympathy visit to the four remaining victims of the attack at the hospital.
He said, ”We have so far lost 21 persons and we are left with only four other patients in the hospital.”
