A fresh explosion rocked a bus terminal in Nigeria's violence-hit city of Kano on Thursday forcing the area to be evacuated, the police and army said.
"We just had an explosion, nobody can confirm the cause. No loss of life or injuries were recorded. The area is being evacuated," a police spokesman in the city, Magaji Majia, told AFP.
Army spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Iweha Ikedichi gave a similar account of the incident.
A witness however claimed two people were injured.
Soldiers and police have cordoned off the area, an AFP correspondent said.
"There was an explosion, there was no injury or death," an on-duty soldier told AFP.
Locals say the area, known as New Road, holds a bus terminal for people travelling to the country's eastern region, the home of the mainly Igbo ethnic group of Nigeria.
Last week 185 people died in Kano in multiple and coordinated bomb and gun attacks claimed by the Islamist group Boko Haram. A Nigerian police source told AFP on Thursday that roughly 200 people had been arrested following that attack.

the only concern i have is if there is still any southerner in Kano, if not, boko haram can be my guest. infact they can blow up every single structure or human as much as they want as long as it is within their territory. and when they are done with structures and humans, they shld share the remaining bombs among themselves and Mohammed will give the 7 virgins in heaven and everywhere will be peaceful.
this goes a long way to show my prayers have been answered: "they shall feed on their own flesh and drink of their own blood ijn" amen

ITS NOT ONLY THE SECURITY FORCES THAT SHOULD BE INVOLVED HERE..... INDIVIDUALS ALSO HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY HERE, THEY HAVE TO BE VIGILANT AS WELL... AS THIS BOKO HARAM ARE NOT BOMBING ONLY CHURCHES.... THEY CHANGES THIER TARGETS OF WHERE TO BOMB. (TODAY IT WILL BE CHURCHES OR POLICE STATIONS, TOMORROW IMMIGRATION OFFICE THEN THE NEXT DAY IT WILL BE PUBLIC AREA... SO PEOPLE NEEDS TO BE VIGILANT COS THEY CAN DECIDE TO TAKE IT TO THE MARKET PLACE AS ONE CANT PREDICTED WHERE THE NEXT TARGET WILL BE
