Casualty
figures sent to Olu Famous Blog by residents of Kano from the scene of the bomb
blast and at the Bayero University shows that
no fewer than 15 worshippers at the Catholic
campus fellow lost their lives in the attack.
Sadly, one of the sources says the figure may likely rise as some of the injured persons taken to the hospital are in critical conditions. According to an online media, the Commissioner of Police in Kano, Ibrahim Idris, said his team would contact the hospital for an update on the casualty figure.
Also,
Engr Abubakar of the Kano State Emergency
Management Agency said security personnel at the scene are not helping matters
as they are being prevented from doing their job
"The
scene has been cordoned off by security
agencies and we have been shut out. We are about two kilometres to the
scene. Everybody is here, including the Red Cross and other agencies. We have
important work to do at the scene, but we are here. We don't know what to do,"
Engr. Abubakar said.
