Soldiers have been deployed to major streets in Kano to enhance security following the multiple explosions in the city on Friday.
The State Government on Friday imposed 24-hour curfew on the state as part of measures to forestall further attacks.
Armed soldiers had also been drafted to some strategic public and private buildings in the metropolis to prevent possible attacks.
The soldiers were on alert in their vehicles patrolling the major streets of the metropolis in readiness for any eventuality.
?It was observed that security had also been tightened around the Government House area as motorists coming to the area were being subjected to thorough checks.
?All the major roads in Kano have been deserted while residents have remained indoors in compliance with the curfew.
Meanwhile,?? Abul Qaqa, who claimed to be the spokesman of the group in a phone chat with newsmen in Kano further claimed that the attacks were in response to the refusal of the Kano state government to release some fellow terrorists arrested in the state. ?
He said they were forced to resort to the attacks after an open letter sent in 2011 to prominent people in the state were ignored.
