The ancient city of Kano yesterday evening witnessed another bomb attack with an unspecified number of persons and passengers injured. Although details of the blast are sketchy as at press time but we gathered that the incident occurred after two unidentified young men hurled two improvised explosive devices at a luxury bus that was travelling out of the state. The blast which occurred around the popular Zaria Roadabout by Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano area, saw a luxury vehicle that had come off the round about and was on the Express road driving out of the state, being the target of attack.
The suspects escaped thereafter before the security could take over the scene of the attack. The blast subsequently resulted into a traffic gridlock on the Expressway as the officers of the Joint Security Task Force (JTF) in the state cordoned off the road thereby diverting traffic to nearby roads.
Efforts to reach the spokesman of the Joint Security Task Force, Lt. Ikedeche Iweha and the spokesman of the Nigeria Police Force, ASP Magaji Majiya for comments were unsuccessful.
