Breaking: Kano Bomb Blast: Two Boko Haram terrorists arrested by DSS [PHOTOS]

Operatives of the Department of Security Services (DSS) have arrested two Boko Haram terrorists over Kano bomb explosion on Tuesday in Sabon Gari area of Kano State.

CAPITAL POST earlier reported that the explosion created confusion with the Police saying it was gas explosion, while the fact emerged later that it was a suicide bombing.

The operatives recovered four AK-47 riffles, two pistols, suicide vests and several Improvised Explosive Device (IED)-making materials.

The explosion affected a school building close to the scene of the attack, with scores dead, while many sustained injuries.

An eye witness account which insisted that it was a suicide bombing particularly that the suicide bomber’s dismembered body was seen after the explosion, further raised beliefs that it wasn’t gas explosion as portrayed by the Kano State Police Command.

With this development, Boko Haram terrorists were gradually spreading their operations down North West away from their usual place of operations in the North Eastern Nigeria.

This was even as Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai confirmed that Boko Haram terrorists and Ansaru terrorists have taken over two Local Government Areas of Birnin-Gwari and Giwa in Kaduna State.

Meanwhile, Tuesday’s blast in Kano left a terrible experience and created panic in the highly populated area of Kano as people ran helter skelter for their lives.

Parents hurriedly moved to various schools to evacuate their wards.
