Few
hours after a popular Islamic Cleric Dahiru Bauchi escaped a suicide
bombing attempt, another
bomb explosion has been reported in a crowded
place in Kawo area of Kaduna city.
This
second explosion happened few kilometers from the scene of the first
bombing. The suicide bomber attacked APC leader Muhammadu Buhari’s car
but luckily he escaped unhurt but there are body parts scattered all
over the scene of the attack.
In the earlier hours of Wednesday, a prominent Islamic cleric escaped an attack on his convoy but 25 people died in the attack.
Dahiru Bauchi is a peace preacher who has publicly criticised Boko Haram Islamists in the past.
While
the police confirmed that 25 persons died in the first blast, which
took place after a Ramadan Lecture, the number of casualties in the
second explosion had yet to be ascertained as of the time of filing this
report.
Both attacks were carried out with Volkswagen golf cars packed by the road side.
Meanwhile,
the Kaduna State Government has declared a 24-hour curfew in the
capital city following the twin bombing in the state capital, according
to a statement by the government.
