The use of vehicles in Nigeria's north-eastern Borno
state has been banned during Eid, the three-day festival that ends Ramadan, the
Muslim fasting month.
Eid started on Sunday in Nigeria, and authorities say
they have intelligence that Islamist group Boko Haram is planning to carry out
car bomb attacks.
Meanwhile, police say a bomb has exploded in the
northern city of Kano.
For
a third year the city's famous Eid durbar, or horse parading ceremony, has been
cancelled due to security fears
