An explosion has rocked the ancient city of Kano, in the Northern part of Nigeria.
Residents say that many have been feared killed in the explosions which happened at the Sabon Gari area of the city.
Sabon Gari is mostly populated by non-indigenes.
The explosion was said to have happened at Aba Street as bodies of humans littered the grounds while emergency officials ran up and down to salvage the situation.
It was not clear if a school is near the scene of the explosion as some images showed school children being ferried out of the area.
