The death toll in the Kano mosque explosion has risen from 17 to 21, it was learnt on Tuesday.
Abubakar was said to have allegedly sprayed the mosque area with petrol, locked the door, and set the mosque on fire when some 32 worshippers were observing their morning prayers (Subhi prayers).
When police arrested him, he said he did so to take revenge after spotting his family members who allegedly cheated him in inheritance sharing praying in the mosque.
