An explosion has gone off at one of the busiest
locations in Kano.
The blast occurred at a place known as
“filling parking” at the Kano Kantin Kwari
market.
Kantin Kwari textile market is rated the
largest market in northern Nigeria with
thousands of traders from 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 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.
Details later….
