Multiple bombs explosions were heard and seen in the city of Kano (Northern Nigeria). Kano is the most populous State in Nigeria according to the country's last census.
These are happening just two days after the ringmaster and mastermind of the Christmas day bombing of St. Theresa Church in Madalla, near Abuja escaped from police. Already there has been numerous calls for the immediate sacking of the Inspector General of Police, Ringim whom many have seen as incompetent in his duties.
