\n
The death toll from the arson by a 38-year-old Kano resident, Shafiu Abubakar, has risen to 14.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\nPointblanknews.com had reported how Abubakar broke into a mosque and set it ablaze after locking worshippers inside.<\/p>\n

The victims were later rushed to Murtala Muhammed Specialist Hospital, Kano, where some of them died.<\/p>\n

On Friday, a senior healthcare personnel at the Surgical Ward where the patients are receiving treatment confirmed to our reporter that more deaths had been recorded.<\/p>\n

She said the number of casualties had risen to 14 while nine were still alive struggling for survival.<\/p>\n

One person had earlier died at Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), taking the number of the deceased to 14.<\/p>\n

Abubakar sprayed the mosque area with petrol, locked the door and set it on fire trapping about 40 worshippers inside.<\/p>\n

\nWhile the incident was first reported on Wednesday, eight people were confirmed dead, while more than 20 were taken to the Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital, Kano for treatment.<\/div>\n
\nThe medical personnel had told our reporter that, \u201cThe chances of survival of all is two per cent when rated between one and 10 which is equivalent to 20 per cent in the ratio of 100.\u201d<\/div>\n
\nMeanwhile, our reporter met 25-year-old Shu\u2019aibu Ibrahim who is the only victim who has a mild case as he could walk and talk after the attack.<\/div>\n
\nIbrahim was seen outside the ward flanked by his sisters. They (Ibrahim and his sisters) were silent just as others kept their eyes fixed on the floor, as they mourned the multiple losses.<\/div>\n
\nA bereaved mother, who lost her son, husband and brother, said, \u201cIt is now a month of continuous mourning in the Larabar Albasawa community as many households have a victim of the circumstance.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
