“Police received a report of an explosion at a mosque in Gadan village during early morning prayers,” Kano police commissioner Usaini Gumel was quoted by local media as saying.
“Twenty-four victims, including 20 males and four children, who sustained various degrees of injuries, were rushed to Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital in Kano for treatment,” Gumel said.
Preliminary forensic analysis suggested the explosion was caused by a Molotov cocktail, though a full investigation into the incident was underway.
A suspect, Shafi’u Abubakar, 38, was arrested after he confessed to carrying out the attack due to “a long-standing family disagreement over the sharing of an inheritance,” Kano police spokesman Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa said.
Umar Sanda, deputy inspector-general of police who visited the scene of the crime, confirmed that “what happened is not in any way connected to any act of terrorism, but a disagreement that arose from sharing of inheritance.”
