BREAKING news Fresh Explosion Rocks Kano City Center

BREAKING : Fresh Explosion Rocks

Kano City Center

An explosion has gone off at one of the busiest locations

in Kano, residents and security officials have told PREMIUM

TIMES.

 The blast occurred at a place known as “fillin parking”

along Ibrahim Taiwo Way, a major intersection leading to

the popular Kano Kantin Kwari Market.

Kantin Kwari textile market is rated the largest market in

northern Nigeria, with several thousands of traders from all

over Nigeria and neighbouring West African countries doing

business there on daily basis.

Details of the incident as well as casualty rate are still

sketchy at this time but the military is said to have raced  to

the scene, condoning off the area.

The spokesperson of the Kano State Police Command,

Magaji Majiya, confirmed the incident to the News Agency

of Nigeria, but did not provide details. The incident is

coming less than two weeks after multiple explosions

rocked the Kano Central Mosque, killing more than 100

people  and injuring hundreds of others.

An explosion had rocked the same market on December 12,

2012, injuring three people.

The state governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and other top

political office holders are in Lagos for the national

convention of the All Progressives Congress. Governor

Kwankwaso is seeking the presidential ticket of the party at

the convention.
