Boko Haram on Saturday claimed responsibility for a suicide attack on Shiite Muslims who were in the procession of Islamic followers who belong to the sect led by Sehikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky.
The suicide bombing left no fewer than 21 persons dead in Kano State.
Boko Haram said in a statement in Arabic on social media that its bomber “detonated his explosives which led to the death”.
It added: “And by the permission of Allah these attacks of ours against Shi’a polytheists will continue until we cleanse the earth of their filth.”
