Twin Bomb Blasts Hit Kaduna, 25 People Dead

Two explosions are said to have gone off in busy areas of Kaduna State today with the first occurring along Isa Kaita road while the second went off in a busy market.

25 people were said to have lost their lives as a result of the first attack, which was allegedly targeted at a prominent Islamic cleric, Dahiru Bauchi.

Bauchi, a known critic of Boko Haram, delivered a Ramadan lecture at the popular Murtala Square, which is near the location of the first explosion. The cleric however escaped unhurt.

Bombings have become a common trend with the terrorist group but it is not clear if they are responsible for this latest attack.
