A bomb has reportedly gone off at the entrance to the palace of the Emir of Kano.
The incident which was said to have occurred at about 8pm Wednesday
evening, shortly after the Ishai prayer time, was carried out by 2
suicide bombers who were riding on a bomb laden tricycle known as “Keke
NAPEP”.
Both men approached the gate of the palace and detonated the powerful
bomb. At the time of filing this report, the causality rate was still
unknown.
The first bomber died in the explosion while the second bomber tried
to flee the scene but was gunned down by Nigerian troops guarding the
palace. The scene of the incident has been cordoned off by the police.
It would be remembered that this is not the first attack on the monarch; as he was attacked by unknown gunmen while returning a Quran graduation ceremony on Jan 19.
