Two suicide bombers killed at least 22 people in an attack on a bus station in the northern Nigerian city of Kano yesterday, said the state’s police commissioner, Musa Daura.
About 65 people were wounded when the bombers struck Kano’s Sabon Gari district, an area mostly inhabited by migrants from the southern Christian Igbo ethnic group, Daura said by phone. At least five buses were destroyed in the attack, according to Tobias Idika, chairman of a group representing the Igbos in the region. President Goodluck Jonathan condemned the bombings as “barbaric” in a statement.
