LAGOS – (AFP) – A blast that targeted an army barracks in the northern Nigerian city of Kaduna on Tuesday was a “foiled” suicide attack, defence spokesman Colonel Mohammed Yerima told AFP.

Asked to confirm reports that the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber, Yerima said: “Yes — a foiled one. He wasn’t successful,” adding that the soldiers at the barracks suffered no casualties.

The Assistant Director, Army Public Relations of the Division, Lt. Col. Abubakar Edun, in the one-page statement made available to newsmen at about 6.45pm explained that the two suicide bombers simultaneously rammed their separate explosive-laden vehicles through the main gates leading to the formation’s premises, ,





injured soldiers whose uniforms were soaked in blood were reportedly seen being evacuated to undisclosed hospitals. Eyewitnesses’ account also indicated that the impact of the explosion also destroyed a part of the Administrative Building and that window glass pane and doors were shattered. The multiple explosions caused commotion in several parts of the metropolis as residents ran helter-skelter to take refuge from the explosions. Traders at the weekly Kawo market abruptly closed their shops.
