explosion has occurred in central Kaduna
killing at least 10 people, a witness has said.
The blast occurred Wednesday afternoon along
Isa Kaita road which leads to the popular
Murtala Square.
A witness said the explosion is believed to have
been targeted at the convoy a prominent
Islamic cleric, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, who was
on his way to the Square.
The witness, Hassan Mohammed, told
PREMIUM TIMES that the bomb, concealed in a
red Volkswagen golf car parked by the road
side, was detonated as the cleric’s convoy
drove past.
The sheikh escaped unhurt, the witness said.
“As I speak to you now, I can see many bodies
on the ground,” Mr. Mohammed said.
The police could not be immediately reached.
But the witness said security and emergency
officials have arrived at the scene evacuating
the victims of the blast.
The blast is the second targeting Mr. Bauchi in
Kaduna State. In June, an explosion occurred
near his house injuring one person.
The Sheikh is a known critic of the extremist
Boko Haram sect. It is however not clear
whether the group is responsible for the
attack.
