Twelve
person have been killed after a bomb went off in Kano today.
The
blast, which occurred at the Kano Line motor park, was carried out by two
male suicide bombers within the ages of 15 and 16.
This
attack is coming hours after at least 15 persons died and 53 others were
injured after a female suicide bomber detonated a bomb at the Tashar Dan-Borno
Motor Park in Potiskum town, Yobe State, Nigeria’s north-east region.
Eyewitness
said the female suicide bomber alighted from a tricycle opposite the Motor Park
and rushed towards a loaded bus when the explosive went off.
The
bus, marked Kano XA 592 GBT, is said to have been ready to ferry the passengers
to Kano State before the incident happened.
A
nursing officer at the hospital where the dead and injured were rushed stated
that so far 15 bodies had been deposited at the mortuary while 53 others are in
critical condition.
No group has claimed
responsibility for both attacks, but it was carried out in a style that mirrors
the modus operandi of the dreaded Islamist Boko Haram sect
