4 Killed In Kano Bomb Blast After 2 Female Suicide Bombers Blew Themselves Up

Six people, including two
female suicide bombers died in Wednesday's explosion at
the Kano textile market, with seven others sustaining
various degrees of injury, Police have said.
The wounded are being treated at Murtala Mohammed
Specialist Hospital.
According to Kano State Police Commissioner, Aderele
Shinaba, two female suicide bombers arrived at the market
pretending to be buyers of textile materials, but as soon as
they entered the market, they went behind Access Bank,
and requested water they could ease themselves with in
one of the market latrines.
The refusal of some traders to offer them water led to an
argument which drew a crowd before the two bombers
detonated their explosives.
The blast occurred at a place known as "fillin parking" along
Ibrahim Taiwo Way, a major intersection leading to the
popular Kano Kantin Kwari Market.
While the military has occupied the area to forestall further
attacks, State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso is in Lagos with
his deputy, Dr Ganduje, as he seeks the APC's presidential
ticket ahead of the 2015 presidential election.
