Bomb Explosion In Kano Market Leaves Scores Dead And Several OthersWounded.

A bomb explosion has ripped through a popular market in Kano, killing scores of persons and wounding several others.

It was  gathered that the blast occurred at a place known as “filling parking” at the Kano Kantin Kwari market around 3.00pm.
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 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.
