USAfrica BreakingNEWS: Female suicide bomber targets mosque in Kano; shortly after Jos blasts

A female suicide bomber, in what seems part of a pattern of new attacks on mosques, detonated explosives at Dangi Jumat Mosque in Kano State, a few hours ago. She killed herself. It is suspected that she is part of the Islamists terror group Boko Haram. The group has not claimed responsibility for her action.

Meanwhile, Nigeria Police spokesman in Kano State, Magaji Majia, has confirmed the attack. Yesterday, there were two attacks killed 46  persons in Jos, the capital of Plateau State. As Buhari prepares his fight plan, Boko Haram has killed, at least, 210 Nigerians since he assumed the presidency on May 29, 215 pledging to deal the Boko Haram a decisive, finishing blow.
