KANO BOMBED AGAIN!

Twin bomb explosions yesterday occurred in Kano State, leaving about 20 people dead. The incident which occured at the palm centre, a popular mobile phone market in Kano, also left a lot of people seriously injured.
The explosions, according to eye witnesses in the ancient city, has created tension as the mayhem was said to be perpetrated by teenage suicide bombers.
The explosion is coming barely 24 hours after over 30 people were confirmed dead in an explosion that rocked Yola, the Adamawa state capital. Reports also said security operatives have arrived the scene of the popular market and have cordoned off the area as residents scampered for their lives in panic, following the ugly development.
Exactly a year ago, a similar incident occurred in the state, sending jitters in the spine of residents.
An eye witness said, immediately after the first explosion occurred at the market entrance, the second device exploded near a pavilion in the centre of the market, explaining that two vans filled with victims were driven away from the scenes of the explosions.
A teenage suicide bomber was believed to be behind one of the explosions.
Another witness confirmed that he was among those who prevented the teenage bomber from entering the market, forcing her to detonate her device at the gate.
When contacted, Kano State Police Commissioner, Muhammadu Katsina, confirmed that the two explosive devices were detonated by two female suicide bombers.
Mr. Katsina maintained that only three people died in the incident while eight others were injured but witnesses claimed that more person were counted dead.
Yesterday’s blast is the first attack on Kano since July 6 when a female suicide bomber struck near a mosque in the city, killing herself.
The teenage bomber had detonated the explosive at 9:30 pm that day after she was prevented from accessing the Umar Bin Khatab mosque along Zaria Road. The incident happened just as faithful were dispersing after observing the late night (Tarawih) prayer.
