Peace was again shattered in Kano in the early hours of Saturday, when multiple explosions rocked the city.
The explosions, which were accompanied by sporadic shooting, occurred at about 7am in the Hotoro area of the metropolis forcing residents to remains indoors.
A source who craved anonymity said that sporadic gunshots were still being heard in the area, sequel to more than three explosions.
