Around 30 gunmen rained bombs and gunfire on a police station in Kano, killing a woman in the latest attack blamed on Islamist group Boko Haram in Nigeria's second city of Kano, AFP reported.
The country's main northern town has lived in fear amid continued chaos since a coordinated wave of attacks after Muslim prayers on Friday killed at least 185 people, in Boko Haram's deadliest ever onslaught.
The armed group converged on the station late Tuesday from two different directions on motorcycles and in Mercedes cars, witnesses said.
The gunmen "were just telling people to move away, they were just here to do their work. They just opened fire on the police station," a resident said.
According to Human Rights Watch, Boko Haram has killed more than 935 people since the group – whose name can be loosely translated as "Western education is sin" – launched a violent campaign in July 2009.
More than 250 of those deaths have come in 2012 alone.
