This is the best summary I could come up with:


A mosque in the Nigerian city of Zaria has collapsed during prayers, killing at least seven people, officials say.

Hundreds of worshippers were in the building at the time on Friday.

The emir of the area told local media a crack had been discovered in one of the walls on Thursday.

"Four bodies were found initially," a council spokesman Abdullahi Kwarbai told Reuters news agency.

"Then three others were found after the rescue team searched the collapsed mosque," Mr Kwarbai added.

A team of engineers had been organised to fix the crack in the building, the Emir, Mallam Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, told Punch News.


I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Found a crack on Thursday, and then just prayed it'd be better in the morning?
