14 dead, scores injured as female bombers strike in Kano

Fourteen persons died yesterday when two female suicide bombers detonated explosives at the Kano GSM Village.

Over 100 others were injured in the blasts, according to the National Emergency management Agency (NEMA).
The Nigeria Red Cross, NEMA, Kano State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) and other stakeholders were on hand to evacuate the injured to Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Nassarawa Hospital and Murtala Muhammad Hospital.
Those with minor injuries were treated and discharged immediately, NEMA spokesman Sani Datti, said yesterday.
President Muhammadu Buhari called for increased vigilance among Nigerians to reduce suicide terror attacks on soft targets.
He condemned Tuesday’s suicide bombs in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, and yesterday’s explosions in Kano.
