Multiple Explosions in Kano's Sabon Gari, More than 10 Dead
July 29, 2013
Multiple explosions have hit a mainly Christian area in Nigeria's northern Kano city, with security forces transporting scores of wounded to area hospitals, witnesses say.
"We have had some explosions in Sabon Gari [neighbourhood] this evening," Kano state Police Commissioner Musa Daura confirmed on Monday night.
A mortuary attendant at Murtala Mohammed Specialists Hospital said at least 10 bodies had been brought in from the scene. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media.
Witness Kolade Ade said at least one blast appeared to come from a Mercedes Benz car parked beside a kiosk selling alcohol and soft drinks.
"After the first bomb, I threw myself into the canal [drain] to hide. There were at least three blasts," he said.
The bombs came as hundreds of people thronged the area in Sabon Gari neighborhood where some were playing snooker and others table tennis.
"There is confusion all over the place. There were four huge explosions, so huge that they shook the whole area. Everywhere is enveloped in smoke and dust," said Chinyere Madu, a fruit vendor.
The blasts were said to have targetted Enugu street in Sabon Gari, a strip filled with outdoor bars and eateries.
The explosions raised fears among the city's mainly Muslim population, who usually go out for midnight prayers during this holy season of Ramadan. -AlJazeera
