KADUNA- Hours after northern leaders ended their two-day parley in Kaduna on how to ensure that peace reigns in the north, the city was thrown into mourning yesterday, following an explosion which killed at least eight persons including a pregnant woman and her two children and injuring several others.

The police authorities said the explosion which occurred at No.32 Ogbomosho Street, off Katsina Road, Ori-Akpata, at about 9:30 a.m. had resulted from a gas cylinder, but eyewitnesses categorically stated that the explosion occurred when two men riding on a motorbike tossed a bomb into the area. The spot is close to old Scala Cinema, Kaduna, which now houses spare part shops in the area mostly inhabited by non northerners. No one has claimed responsibility for it.
