Meanwhile, the president believed that vigilance is a probable life saver, since security agents cannot be everywhere to discourage every planned attack.

Kano police say that two female suicide attackers have killed 13 people in a market in northern Nigeria's main city.

This is the first attack on Kano since July six, happening barely a day after a similar explosion took out the crowded park in Yola, Adamawa state, where more than 30 people were killed by a suicide bomber in an attack blamed on Boko Haram.
