Two bomb blasts rocked Kaduna State,
Northwest Nigeria this morning, killing a
policeman.
The first blast happened at Angwar Seriki
area of Kaduna near Kano, a very busy area
where fully armed soldiers were mounting
survellance.
While the first blast went without any loss of
life, the second was devastating as a mobile
policeman who moved to the Sheikh
Mahommud Gumi Mosque, Kano, Kaduna
with a bomb detector was blown up by the
bomb.
The level of the blast forced residents of the
area to run for their dear lives. The
pandemonium continued up till the time of
filing this report.
Security operatives including soldiers,
mobile and regular policemen have been
drafted to the area to comb for more
explosives which might have been planted
in the vicinity. The security personnel have
also cordoned off the Kano area.
An helicopter was hovering around the
scene of the blasts, also as part of security
measures to curb further explosions in the
vicinity.
It is widely believed that the Islamist
fundamentalists, the Boko Haram might
have planted more bombs in the Kano area
of Kaduna. Many residents are afraid tha
there could be more explosions. Soldiers
and other security personnel have advised
people including journalists to leave the
scene of the blasts in their own interest.
