There is a sad report coming in from the city of Kano. Multiple sources have confirmed that men suspected to be members of a dreaded Islamic sect hurled explosives at a loaded luxury bus in Kano early Wednesday morning.
Reports of casualties remain sketchy but there is commotion in the area.
Sources in Kano said news of the incident have thrown the state into a panic mood as workers and business owners are running back home. Some are even heading to neighbouring states, a source added.
Also, there were reports that two explosions occurred in the Zoo Road area of Kano on Wednesday morning. The attack, by two men riding on a bike, was a police post. The perpetrators threw the explosives at the post, injuring people around.
A source said gunshots are heard from different directions. Security agencies are yet to make a statement.
