Breaking News: Another bomb blast in Kano

The Nigeria Police Force just announced that another bomb blast occurred this morning at NNPC mega station along Maiduguri road in Kano state..see the press statement below:
    Today, 28-07-14 at about 10:00am, another suicide bomb went off at Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation NNPC Mega Filling Stationat Hotoro Quarter along Maiduguri Road, Kano. A suicide bomber suspected to be a female had slipped into the crowd of citizens buying kerosene at the Station before detonating the explosives.
     The suicide bomber and three others have been confirmed dead, eight persons are injured and rushed to the Hospital.
     It is instructive to note that the Mega Station did not go ablaze due to the security barricade put in place by the Policemen on duty at the station. Such a situation would have clearly complicated the Emergency response. Security Forces have cordoned off the scene, and Police Bomb Disposal Experts are "sweeping" the area. Citizens are advised to stay off the scene, be vigilant and report any suspicious person(s) or activities to security forces. Full scale investigation has commenced intensive patrol of the city is ongoing.
    Also another bomblast took place at trade fair center zoo road near shoprite shower security operatives foiled the attack and the casualties were minimal suicide bomber suspected to be a female....see tweet of the second bomblast below (last pic)...
