Authorities in Kano state, northern Nigeria, reported that at least 24 worshippers, including four children, were injured in an explosion at a mosque in the remote Gadan village. The incident occurred early Wednesday morning when a 38-year-old resident of the area attacked the mosque where the worshippers were praying.
The suspect confessed that he carried out the attack due to a prolonged family disagreement. Police spokesman Abdullahi Haruna stated that the suspect's actions were driven by hostility towards individuals involved in the family dispute.
