A family dispute over inheritance rights led to grief in Kano state when a 38-year-old man set a mosque on fire while worshippers were observing the early morning prayer. The accused reportedly sprayed the mosque with petroleum, locked the doors, and set it on fire trapping about 40 worshippers inside.

About a dozen people were killed while many more who suffered various injuries struggled for their lives at nearby health facilities. The incident has left the community in shock as families grieve over relations caught in the arson incident.

Not fewer than eight worshippers have been confirmed dead, following the early morning attack launched by an arsonist on a mosque where the worshippers were praying. In a brazen assault on Monday night, bandits struck at a mosque in Gusau, Zamfara State capital, abducting numerous worshippers during the Tahajjud congregational prayer.

Bandits have invaded Gindin Dutse Makyali village, Kufana District, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, burning 12 villagers in their homes.
