    Friday’s strike was the deadliest yet claimed by the Boko Haram sect, which said it launched the Kano attacks because the security agencies were holding its followers.

    A statement by Police Commissioner Ibrahim K. Idris late yesterday said 150 of the dead were civilians, 29 were police officers, three were secret police officers, two were immigration officers and one was a customs officer.

    Idris also announced that the police found 10 unexploded car bombs in the city, three days after the wave of attacks targeting security agencies. “The extremists also attacked and brutally killed innocent civilian citizens who were going about their lawful business in different locations.

    The statement said: “Among the areas affected are police zonal headquarters whereby a suicide bomber drove a car forcefully through the gates and detonated a bomb which destroyed part of the building.

    Same group of terrorists launched an attack at Farm Centre a mobile phone market, Immigration Passport office located at Farm Centre, State Security Service Headquarters , official residence of Assistant Inspector General of police Zone One and St. Louis Secondary School simultaneously.
