There were two bomb
explosions in the city of Kano today, the first attacker walked into a filling
station in Hotoro, where people, most of whom were women cued for kerosene.
The Police Commissioner, Aderenle Shinaba, said that the
bomber and two others died while eight sustained various degrees of injuries.
Kano State in recent days has been under tension after the
discovery of explosives at Eid ground but the Police say it is still under high
alert as few arrests have been made since recent attacks.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
However, the deputy governor of the state, Abdullahi Umar,
who visited the scene of the blast, said the government was conscious and fully
aware of the new techniques now used by the terrorists to attack innocent
people.
Following the attacks, Sallah celebrations in Kano have
suffered a setback as people are being cautious. Also, most recreational parks
appeared empty as check-points have been set up within the metropolis
