Seven killed In Kano Suicide Bomb Attack - Police

Seven people, including a suicide bomber, have been killed after a bomb exploded at a fuel station in the Hotoro area of Kano metropolis in northern Nigeria.

Out of the seven dead victims, three are said to be policemen who were guarding the facility at the time of the attack.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Adenrele Shinaba, confirmed
the attack. He said five people were injured in the blast that occurred at a filling station belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.

It is the third suicide bomb attack occurring within one week in the
northern part of Nigeria.

A suicide bomber on Monday detonated a bomb while students of a
government secondary school in Potiskum, Yobe State, were at the
assembly hall, killing over 30 students and several others injured.

Two days after the Potiskum attack, a female suicide bomber blew
herself up at the Federal College of Education, Kontagora, in Niger
State.

Although it was initially thought that the suicide bomber was the only
one killed in the blast, it was later discovered that a 200-level student
of the college also died in the incident, which also left four others
injured.

No group has claimed responsibility for the Kano attack.
