Although 270 others were also wounded when two suicide bombers blew themselves up and gunmen opened fire during the Jumma'at prayers on Friday at the Grand Mosque in Kano,Kano state which is obviously the biggest city in the north with 90% Muslims.
President Jonathan who had "directed the security agencies to commence investigation and to leave no bird unstoned until all agents of terror are traced and brought to Justice," said a statement from his office on Saturday.
The central mosque is attached to the palace of the Emir of Kano Muhammad Sanusi II,Nigeria's second most senior Muslim cleric, who last week made a call at the same mosque,urging northern civilians to take up arms against Islamist extremists and should not be killed like chickens by the Boko Haram.The Emir was out of the country during the attacks.

"I was inside the premises of the mosque. As soon as the prayer started, a bomb went off. They just started shooting people," said the 32-year-old tailor, who received serious burns to his thighs.
President Jonathan further urged Nigerians "not to despair in this moment of great trial in our nation's history but to remain united to confront the common enemy.
