Bomb blast rocks kano

Less than 24 hours after a twin explosion killed hundreds in Kaduna, the rampaging terrorists have decided to focus on neighbouring Kano today, as fresh reports reaching NigerianEye revealed that a bomb exploded in a popular motor park in Sabon-Gari area on Kano on Thursday.

The blast ripped through the city’s central motor park, residents said, and details on the causalities are still not clear.

The police spokesperson for Kano State, Magaji Majiya, told NigerianEye that the explosion was caused by a bomb that targeted travellers.

“The blast was actually a bomb blast. The bomber hid it inside a Fridge and placed the fridge on a cart, and detonated it close to a luxurious bus,” Mr. Majiya said.

The affected bus with registration number KTT 164 XA is owned by Ifeanyi Chukwu Industrial Services, he said.

He said the bus was loading passengers heading to Port Harcourt at the time of the blast.

The bombing came a day after two explosions killed more than 40 people in neighbouring Kaduna State.

It was also the second time the Sabon Gari park would be targeted by bombers.
