The Nigeria Police say a second explosion has rocked the ancient city of Kano.
The police announced the fresh explosion via its twitter handle.
The explosion came less than five hours after a blast tore through the Hotoro area of the city, killing no fewer than five persons.
The police say the second explosion was also detonated by a female suicide bomber just like the first.
“One female suicide bomber about 18yrs died, 6 persons injured,” the police announced.
There is panic across the city and sorrow is etched on the faces of residents, our correspondent says.
The spokesperson of the Police in the state, Magaji Majiya, told NE that the suicide bomber targeted people going into the Trade Fair Complex along Zoo road.
“Because of the high security alert in town, everyone going into the complex is thoroughly searched,” he said. “When she approached the security men carrying out the search, she detonated the explosive device on which she hid under her Hijab.”
Mr. Majiya also said the explosion also injured six persons including two policemen.
The first female suicide bomber detonated her device at the NNPC filling station, targeting people queuing to buy kerosene.
Oga Jona. Rescue those girls now. They are turning them to suicide bombers. All they have to do is convince them that nobody cares about their plight. They are impressionable young girls and easy to confuse. Almost 4months of been taken advantage of by those predators? I really feel for them. Rescue them now or there will be nothing left and no one to rescue.
ReplyDeleteFunny as it may sound.. some1 asked a very important question. . How do the security agencies know the ages of these female bombers?
ReplyDeleteYour question makes sense but I know there are so many means in forensic laboratories to determine ages of corpses or human remains.
DeleteSo Nigeria don get forensic detector/ detective b dat o abi
DeleteIslam, a Terrorist Religion.....Oh sorry,!!! Islam is a religion of peace...Hahahahahaahahahahaahahah..Sorry for every worshipper of Islam
ReplyDeleteThe issue is not about islam as a religion,but the people perpetrating this evil..If you care to know,Islam doesn't preach violence..May Allah expose these animals called BH and expose all their sponsorers..
DeleteThank you Bjay. Let ask his/her Pastor/Revren the true meaning of Islam a true islam believer.
DeleteI believe its nt abt d religion buh conventional attribute(stone hearted set of human beings) of a muslim is constituting 2 dis ugly scenairo. Buh i pray God hlp us.
DeleteOga journalist, what is Hijab?
ReplyDeletesurely the kidnapped chibok girls have been turned to suicide bombers!!!. God help us
ReplyDeleteWe have to consider sacrificing th kidnapped girls to end this. I mean bomb without caution until every living thing in sambisa or any other suspected hide out of these bloody fools. It is time we act like the jew leaving nothing to caution.
ReplyDeleteover two hundred abuducted girls ar not new to our hearing, so d soddiers should clear every liven thing in dat forest.even those girls ar now boko haram so clear all of them.
ReplyDeleteIt is a well known fact that the aim of kidnapping those girls was for suicide mission. This is just a little of the iceberg, when the training is completed casuality will be more. The govt have exercise restraint enoughn let a full scale war be waged on the hideout not minding the casuality, those that will survive among the girls will survive. Even when rescued those girls must be closely monitored. It is time for a full scale war, delay may be dangerous.
ReplyDeleteWithout prejudice, i think the north and Islam has been pampering these BH for too long. Every religion is a reflection of what their practitioners exhibits.Let peace reign in the world.
ReplyDeleteO God save your people from this wicked generation.
