BREAKING NEWS: Fresh explosion Rocks Kano- Premium Times.

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.
