Two female suicide bombers, this afternoon killed  six people including themselves and injured several others in an attack on Kano’s Kantin Kwari market.

 Comissioner of Police, Kano state police command, Adenrele Shinaba, who confirmed this, said the attack took place at carpark area of the International market.

 

Meanwhile, following the explosions today at the Kantin Kwari Market area in Kano metropolis, rescue workers and security operatives have evacuated all persons affected by the blasts to hospitals.

 

National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA)’s Press Officer, Manzo Ezekiel, said operatives have also cordoned off the location to forestall the danger of any secondary explosions. 

 

While speaking with Daily Trust on phone, Mr. Manzo said he could not ascertain the number of the dead yet but noted that the last update he got put it at seven. 

 

 

Boko Haram militants have been blamed string of attacks in the ancient city including the one carried out on the Kano central mosque about two weeks ago.
