Multiple explosions rocked a Christian area in Nigeria’s northern Kano city on Monday night, with security forces ferrying scores of wounded to hospitals.
A mortuary attendant at Murtala Mohammed Specialists Hospital said at least 10 bodies had been brought in from the scene.
Witness Kolade Ade said at least one blast appeared to come from a Mercedes-Benz parked beside a kiosk selling alcohol and soft drinks.
“After the first bomb, I threw myself into the canal (drain) to hide. There were at least three blasts,” he said.
The explosions came as hundreds of people thronged the area in Sabon Gari neighbourhood, where some were playing snooker and others table tennis.
