Explosion Rocks Kano Motor Park


A high calibre improvised device was today, Thursday July 24 detonated inside the New road motor park located at Sabon Gari, Kano State, leaving 5 people dead.

However,  the police authorities claim that only 1 body was found at the scene. The motor park, located in a predominantly Christian area, is also reported to have been rocked by at least four explosions previously.

The blasts occurred on Igbo Road, Enugu Road and New Road, opposite Ado Bayero Square. The latest attack is coming barely a year after a bomb blast killed no fewer than 20 people in the same area, at a drinking joint.

Boko Haram had claimed responsibility for coordinated suicide blasts at a bus park in Sabon Gari in March 2014 that killed about 22 people.

Thursdays blast makes it the second attack in the week, following the twin bomb explosion that left at least 72 people dead in Kano and Alkali areas of Kaduna, Kaduna State on Wednesday. 

Our security agencies please we are begging for pro-active measure to stop this menace and please for those leaving in this terror prone areas should be very security conscious. 

See something, say something

Today we would be talking about Living our dreams and the prime obstacle to that is FEAR. You can either live your dreams or live your fear. I think that many people are not living their dreams. But are living their fears. So I want to ask you a question. Why are you living in fear? What are you afraid? We all have fears, we all have something that is blocking, or holding us back. And as we begin to realize that, you see that most people are not living their true potentials. They are not doing all the thing they want to do. Its all because of fear. Some people call fear (False evidence or expectations appearing as real). Make a decision today that you are going to box and bury your fears. Decide that you going to live life on a new level. Seeking out new horizons. That you are going to find more love, more joy and more ways to give b
