A blast ripped
through a busy textile market in the north Nigerian city of Kano on Wednesday,
the police and a trader said.
The explosion
happened in the Kantin Kwari market, which is typically packed with crowds of
traders, shoppers as well as heavy traffic.
“I heard a huge
sound coming from the back of my shop along Unity Road. I just closed the shop
and tried to leave because it’s not safe,” trader Nura Sadiq told AFP.
“It is true. There
has been an explosion at the Kantin Kwari market,” added Kano police spokesman
Musa Magaji Majia.
A high calibre
Improvised Explosive Device went off at the Kano textile market Wednesday
afternoon.
According to
Eyewitnesses, the twin blast went off simultaneously at Alarama shopping
complex by Fillin Paki.
