Boko Haram had given numerous warnings for members to be released from government custody. They threatened that if Kano failed to comply with their demands, there would be ruthless attacks on the city. They claimed that letters were sent to officials including the Emir of Kano (religious/traditional leader) and open letter addressed to the public, warning that "persecution" of their members should stop. The reasons as to why they carried out these attacks were revealed during a telephone interview with spokesperson Abul Qaqa by news reporters. All attacks were targeted at state government buildings and reiterating their disapproval and opposition to Johnathan's presidency.
