Militants driving a smashed SUV and motorbikes threw an Improvised
Explosive Device (IED) at the convoy of the The Emir of Kano, Ado
Bayero, and then shot at his official vehicle, killing his driver and
three of his guards, according to a military source.
The attack took place near the Hockey Field on Zoo Road by Total
Gasoline station while the Emir was returning from the launching of an
Islamic school at Mussalaci Murtala.
The Emir was unhurt in the attack and has since been moved to an undisclosed location.
Some residents in the area said Nigerian troops of the Joint Task
Force later took over the scene of the attack while firing shots.

trying to get the full details of the attack, asking to speak with
Saharareporters as soon as official incident report becomes available.
