Several people are feared killed with others injured in a huge explosion in the Sabon Gari area of Kano State.
The impact of the explosion reduced at least one building to rubbles while nearby houses were equally impacted, with many windows shattered.
Details of the incident are still sketchy at the time of filing this report but it was gathered that the explosion occurred at about 9 am, near a primary school along Court Road by Aba Road, with many children affected.
The cause of the explosion is not known at this time.
Local authorities, including the police anti-bomb unit and several security units are currently on the site.
