A statement issued by police in Kano state on Monday night said the dead included 150 civilians, 29 police officers, three secret police officers, two immigration officers and one customs officer, Xinhua reported.

An Indian was among 162 people killed on Friday evening as heavily armed Islamists carried out a deadly Mumbai-style terror attack in Nigeria's second largest city Kano in Kano state, media reports and Indian officials said.

Six other Indians, including two children, were wounded.

Eleven more people were killed in terror attacks Sunday in the northeastern Bauchi state, state police commissioner Ikechukwu Aduba said on Monday.
