SUICIDE BOMBERS ATTACK AIRTEL AND MTN OFFICES IN KANO

Two suicide bombers yesterday in Kano, rammed their vehicles into the structures of two mobile communication giants in the state capital, signaling the prospect of a gloomy yuletide in the state. The two bombers died instantly. The affected structures were the headquarters of Airtel Nigeria, located off Niger Street, opposite the famous Mallam Kato Square and an inter -switch outlet belonging to MTN Nigeria, on Maimalari Street in the Bompai Industrial Area of the state capital.

It was gathered that the security operatives deployed to the headquarters of Airtel Nigeria responded promptly, targeting the suicide bomber just before the final explosion of his vehicle, a situation that mitigated the impact of the blast.
