BREAKING: At Least 13 Killed In Kano Beer Joint Bombing

An explosion has rocked a beer joint in the Sabon Gari area of Kano, Kano State. The explosion has killed at least 13, with several injured according to eyewitnesses. However, the Police said only four people (three men and a girl) died. Residents heard a loud explosion around 9: 30pm Nigerian time. Update Confirming the explosion, Kano State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Aderenle Shinaba said a bomb placed in a car exploded too early as the bomber was likely targeting the restaurants and beer joints ahead of him on Gold Coast Street. Minutes after the attack, security operatives arrived at the area and cordoned it off while rescue workers conveyed the injured and dead to the hospital. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet, but it has the imprints of the north-eastern Nigeria based Boko Haram sect, which has carried similar attacks on beer joints in the past.
