Gunmen armed with assault rifles, on Saturday May 26th opened fire on a group of card players at the Filin Kashu relaxation spot in Gaida, Kano, killing four people and injuring several others.
The gunmen came in two separate motorcycles around 6pm , shot at the crowded fun spot and shot in the air for about 20 minutes before speeding away. The shooting caused a stampede, which led to the injury of several more.
This is the second time this year a fun spot patronized by card players will be attacked. Some say because Poking, known as Karta in Hausa is listed as a game of chance by Quran and encourages Muslims to stay off it. No group has claimed responsibility for the shooting.
