Kano — Several explosions, this evening, rocked the ancient city of Kano.
Reports reaching Daily Trust say the Zone 1 Police headquarters which is the AIG's office at Kofar Dan Agundi, along BUK road, Sharada; the Immigrations office at Farm Centre; a location in Ungwar Uku and the SSS headquarters along Sardauna Crescent all suffered from the devastating effects of the explosions.
Casualty figures are not yet known.
At the SSS headquarters, it is claimed that one of the attackers was killed and a second arrested. The entire area has been cordoned off.
Other sources report more explosions and our reporters on the ground are compiling all confirmed locations.
According to an orange seller who was selling oranges close to the Immigration office when the attack started, the attackers were two in number.
"I was peeling my oranges when all of a sudden two men walked to the building and began shooting at the immigration personnel there. I saw at least three of them fall before I ran for cover," he narrated.
It was after the shooting that the explosions began, he said.
According to our reporter, there is mayhem around Farm Centre at present with people running for safety and several car accidents resulting from the commotion.

nigeria is in a very big mess. should we let tha bullets off our barrels and let the whole world watch us the second time. boko haram please keep your weapons. the slow movement of a tiger is not a mistake but rather.....
People are dying every day in nigeria by so call boko haram like fowl. The blood of innocent soul they are waisting everyday especially in kano state today must surely rise against them........from ur belove. ASTRONOMY....
Nigerian leaders should stand up & fight against these devils incanates called boko haram. The have to get the sponsors in the senate, house of reps. & others. It is not when the bomb all cities or the states the will be serious on them.
I thought there is a state of emergency in these Northern areas Or curfew? State of emergency means people stay indoors while police or military conduct searches. Protesters of the fuel subsidy are still out in Kano and other cities. I think Govt. has to order people off the streets NOW and seriously enforce this state of emergency. Boko haram cannot be still running around with their bombs, this is time to find their hideouts and sponsors. All the Emirs, Governors and politicians in the affected areas must be searched. Their e-mails and bank accounts checked. Police better stop taking bribes and check everybody. Goodluck must stop this nonsense of police collecting bribes on the roads. How can you fight terrorism with these BEGGERS called Nigerian Police!!! The military are now being used in Lagos and other cities because you cannot count on these Police people to do their job. God help us.
If I may ask, what are the JTF doing in the northern and what are the essence of state emergence and curfew in the north since these devil's sons called Boko Haram are still in operation and even doing more than before. Sorry, these bombing and terrorists will never stop until Babangida, Atiku, Buhari, Dangote, Borno state governor, all the Emirs, Imams etc. But if not so there will be no peace in Nigeria. But I don't know why are Igbos so stupid that they don't want to leave north and come back to the East.
