A bomb explosion in Kano has reportedly killed no fewer than five people and injured 15.
The explosion happened on Saturday morning at a scrap
collection company located on the Eastern bypass in the state.
Ibrahim Bakosri, state police commissioner, who visited the
scene, said the bomb was a military model.
Bakosri said he was informed that the vehicle carrying the
bomb was a truck from Yobe state.
The injured persons have been taken to the Aminu Kano
Teaching Hospital (AKTH), the police commissioner noted.
He said authorities have yet to confirm the exact cause of
the explosion or the ownership of the explosives.
“Security agencies are currently investigating the incident.
The facts will be clearer once the investigation is completed,” the police
commissioner added.
Baskori urged the public to remain calm.
Early this month, a bomb exploded at a bus stop in Borno,
killing at least nine residents.
In May, the Anambra police command said its operatives
destroyed a local bomb factory in the state.
