An eyewitness told our correspondent in Kano that
unknown persons planted the Improvised Explosive Device by the wall of the Juma’at Praying
ground at Kofar Mata, where
the para-military personnel
usually take shelter.
According to our source, no
sooner the para-military
personnel, who were from
Hisbah Guards, Federal Road
Safety Commission and the Kano Road Traffic Department settled down at the spot than the IED
exploded, injuring them and a passer-by.
The three officials, who suffered
varying degree of injuries, were
immediately rushed to the Murtala Mohammed Specialist
Hospital by sympathisers.
When contacted, the Police
Public Relations Officer in the
state, Magaji Majiya, who
confirmed the incident, said no
life was lost.
Majiya, a Superintendent of Police, who noted that security
operatives were in control of the
situation, said investigations to
unravel those behind the
explosion had begun.
He also appealed to members of
the public to assist the police
with information that would lead
to the arrest of the suspects.
As at the time of filing this
report, no group had claimed
responsibility for the attack,
while the police had yet to make
any arrest.
A series of bomb blasts had in
the past hit the ancient city,
leaving many people dead and
several others injured.
