Motorpark Bomb Blast In Kano

Monday  was  yet another bloody day in Kano as  over 30 passengers, drivers and visitors  lost their lives to explosions at an inter-state  luxury bus park in the city. Hours before the  blasts, an Islamic militant group, Boko Haram members laid siege to some schools in Maiduguri,  Borno State, killing  four  teachers and injuring several others, including pupils.

The cause of the  Kano explosions which President Goodluck Jonathan described as barbaric, was uncertain as of 8pm on Monday. While some eyewitnesses attributed  it   to improvised explosive devices  planted in a luxury bus in the ever-busy park, others  said  it was  carried out by three suicide bombers.

They were however, in agreement that the  explosions also left many injured and  some  buses destroyed in the park located in the  Sabon Gari, an area mostly inhabited by non-indigenes.
