Twin bombs in Kano Nigeria market

Two female suicide bombers have killed 11 people in a market in northern Nigeria's main city, Kano, police say.

 

Residents say one of the bombs went off inside the Farm Centre mobile phone market, and the other at the entrance.

No-one has said they are responsible but militant Islamist group Boko Haram has previously targeted Kano.

On Tuesday, more than 30 people were killed by a suicide bomber in the north-eastern Yola city in an attack blamed on Boko Haram.

 

President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the Kano and Yola attacks as barbaric.

Witnesses told AFP news agency the explosions in Kano went off just after 15:00 GMT.

Six people were said to have arrived at the scene but two got out of their vehicle and four left before the explosion.
