              Is just a pity how innocent people continue to die for no reason just because some group of people want to carve out their own caliphate.According to Magaji Musa,Spokesman for Kano state police command said yesterday friday that ''Yes,three policemen and three civilians were killed by a suicide bomber in a Toyota this evening at Hotoro,Kano metropolis''.Nobody has claimed the bombing,but all fingers points to the Islamic group,Boko Haram,who has been busy taken over towns in Adamawa state.The Boko Haram group insurgents have retaken the village of Chibok in Borno state yesterday friday,where the group abducted over 200 school girls seven months ago,though some locals plan to retake their captured towns and villages.More photos below.                                                           ...
