POPE Francis has joined Nigerians and other members of the international community to condemn Saturday’s Kano blast, saying it was an “extremely serious sin against God.”
He made the condemnation at a visit to Turkey.

The insurgents attacked a mosque in Kano on Friday in a deadly attack, killing about 120 people while injuring several others.

He had earlier cancelled the celebration of his 68th birthday saying there would be many more years of celebration.
