An explosion struck a street of popular bars and restaurants in the northern Nigerian city of Kano on Sunday, in an area mostly inhabited by southern Christians, police said, and a witness saw at least four dead in the debris. Kano police spokesman Musa Majiya said it was too early to say if the blast in the Sabon Gari or "foreign quarter" of the North's biggest city had caused any casualties. But witness Abdul Dafar, who lives a block away, said he saw at least four dead bodies after the explosion. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but blame is likely to fall on violent Islamist group Boko Haram, whose struggle against the Nigerian state has killed thousands over the last five years.
