Gunmen on a motorcycle kill three people when they open fire on a group of Muslim worshippers in the northern Nigerian city of Kano, the latest such attack in the region, say police.

KANO – Gunmen on a motorcycle killed three people on Monday when they opened fire on a group of Muslim worshippers in the northern Nigerian city of Kano, the latest such attack in the region, police said.

Three gunmen fired into a group of people preparing for evening prayers in a business district of the city, the largest in Nigeria’s mainly Muslim north, police spokesman Magaji Majia told AFP.

“The three gunmen came on a motorcycle around 6:00 pm and opened fire on a group of people getting ready for the evening prayers at a popular tea-selling spot opposite the zoo,” Majia said.

One person was also injured in the attack.

Gunmen thought to belong to Islamist extremist group Boko Haram have done scores of such shootings in Nigeria’s north, though criminal gangs also carry out violence under the guise of the group.

Violence related to Boko Haram’s insurgency has left some 3,000 people dead since 2009, including killings by the security forces.

Mario don't die....he restart always, that isss the problem of Nigeria...one day,the whole console will spoil

NONSENSE!
They were preparing for evening prayers while sitting/relaxing in 'mai shayi' joints doesnt mean they were actualy worshipping at the time.
Very misleading topic!

Niger don tire me.

^^^nope its not,that wasn't the 1st time anyway,bunch of cowards,RIP to the dead.
But really I think the northern Muslim umar should declare jihad on boko haram members,they are killing them more than other religious and ethnic group.

Very <3 GD ♥,

Bélla3: NONSENSE!

The other time they said Muslim worshippers
People walking down the street
Now it is people at a tea joint
When will they actually drive into a mosque and detonate
It has happened in in over 20 churches
Nonsense
This is just to deflect attention
They day they do what they did at Madalla in a mosque,Boko Haram will cease because they will hunt down and kill the supporters in their midst well known to them

3 PEOPLE KILLED?
What happened to federal character and equity?

Violence, no matter the parties involved is totally wrong! I abhor it RIP

mikeapollo:

The heading of the post os misleading.

No attack has ever been made/directed at muslim worshippers inside a mosque, unlike how christians have been attacked while worshipping INSIDE churches.

There is a religious undertone to this Boko Haram thing, but we are deceiving ourselves by denying it

Exactly
Ask yourself why when they attack a church a group of gunmen go in for massacres and kill dozens or a bomb laden car kills scores then when it is a Muslim Okada rider will toss out one small knock out

Brilliant Post ! Its either that or probably 2 different Islamic sects (Sunni vs Shia) fighting again . Its nothing new.

First, I condemn any form of attack by any group on any Nigerian under the guise of any believe. Secondary, the topic is a bit misleading. The three people killed were actually preparing to go for prayer not that they were attacked in the mosque. The journalist is only trying to spark up war between xtians and Muslims or trying to justify that the killing is done to both xtians and Muslims.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? NO MUSLIM IS A TERRORIST!!

I wonder at the way Nigerians think at times, 150 people has to be killed for U to believe that there was an attack on a mosque. Surely the problem of the country is the people.....hatred and vengeance flows in an average Nigerian blood, if educated people on this forum can have this kinna shallow thinking then what is expected of the almajarins

The reporter of this news is a fool.
The 3 people killed were not killed in a mosque,so we can infer that the attack was not targeted at muslims.This is because anybody in that gathering would have been killed.
Commenting on those that carried out the attack,they are obviously muslims as terrorism has become synonymous with the religion of islam.

There is no group more vengeful than the Fulani.None!

the rich are setting themselves up, i guess. soon before 2015, there will be more factions and more blood will flow. this is political

So they ran out of Christians and turned on themselves. This clearly a family dispute...all the aabokis here should know it has nothing to do with my Igbo bros and sis up north..
