Police Commissioner Aderenle Shinaba said the anti-terror feat police performed today was that their men diffused “a high-calibre bomb” discovered at the Dawanau International Grains market, Kano.
Shinaba said the explosive was concealed in a bag in the market and that the personnel of the Anti-bomb Squad of the command had successfully diffused it.
He denied rumours that a female suicide bomber who went to a clinic for treatment was arrested.
He called on the people of the state to continue to cooperate with security agencies to enable them discharge their duties effectively.
On Wednesday, two female suicide bombers detonated an explosive near the Kantin Kwari International Textiles market in the city, killing themselves and four others.
