Kano



At least 20 people have been killed in a bomb attack in north-western Nigeria's Zaria city, state governor Nasir El-Rufa'i has said.


A blast hit a local government headquarters in Zaria, northern Nigeria, on Tuesday, as primary school teachers and public staff were undergoing identity checks, one worker said.

“The explosive went off at about 9:00 am (0800 GMT)… The area has been taken over by security personnel but high casualties are likely,” local government worker Mahmud Abbas told AFP.
