Nigeria under attack

At least 20 people have been killed in a series of explosions at a bus station in the northern Nigerian city of Kano, witnesses say.

Several buses were destroyed in the Sabon Gari area of the city, home to a large population of Christians from the south of the country.

Kano is the largest city in the mainly Muslim north of Nigeria.

No group has said it carried out the blasts but Islamist militants from Boko Haram have attacked Kano several times.

One eye witness told the BBC’s Hausa service that he had seen 20 bodies after the blasts.

Soldiers cordoned off the area after the blasts.

In January 2012, around 150 people died in Kano in a series of co-ordinated attacks by Boko Haram.
