Nigeria's Kano rocked by explosions
Nigeria's Kano rocked by explosions
Multiple explosions have rocked Kano, the biggest city in northern Nigeria.
The BBC's Yusuf Yakasai in the city says there is pandemonium with people running all over the place.
One of the blasts is believed to be at the police headquarters and an AP reporter says a large plume of smoke can be seen over the city.
