KANO, Nigeria -- A Nigerian police official says that three time bombs were found in different sections of a university in the city of Kano.

Police spokesman Magaji Musa Majiya said Tuesday that the university personnel alerted the police after finding the bombs in the science and law buildings and at the sports complex of Bayero University. Majiya said police were on their way to the sites to diffuse the bombs.

Kano is Nigeria's largest city in its predominantly Muslim north. It saw at least 185 people killed in an attack by the Islamist sect Boko Haram in January.

What a "Hell Hole" this country is and .....no relief in site for the innocent civilians..
Of course it's just one of many that will never come to girps with basic humanity and I wonder how much foreign aid (our money) they get? Need to cut-off all funds to this and other countries who are non-human.
