At least 150 people were killed in northeast Nigeria after a radical Islamic sect bombed police stations, churches and mosques as it stepped up its campaign to impose Sharia law in Africa’s most populous country. At least 63 people have been killed in bomb and gun attacks in the north-eastern Nigerian town of Damaturu on Friday, the Red Cross said.
But rescue agency officials said they counted up to 150 bodies at a mortuary and various places.
Witnesses said the bombs hit several targets, including churches and the headquarters of the Yobe state police. Another suicide attack in neighbouring Maiduguri town left four dead yesterday.
