An explosion has struck a public health college in Nigeria's second city of Kano, in the north, killing¹ at least eight people, police say.

尼日利亚北方第二大城市卡诺一所公共卫生学院发生一起爆炸案，至少8人丧生。

At least 20 others were wounded in the blast at the Kano School of Hygiene².

The city has been targeted in the past by the radical³ Islamist group Boko Haram, which aims to create an Islamic state in northern Nigeria.

Three states to the east of Kano are under a government-imposed emergency after years of militant⁴ attacks.

Kano State police spokesman Magaji Majiya, who confirmed the attack, said eight people had been killed and many others with horrific injuries had been taken to hospital for treatment.

Registration⁵ period

The BBC's Mansur Liman, in the capital Abuja, says the blast occurred as students were struggling to meet a deadline to register for the new academic session.

He says the area has been cordoned⁶ off（隔离） and emergency services are continuing to take the injured to hospital.

One person has been arrested, according to the police.

A teacher at the college told the AFP news agency that the blast seemed to originate from a car park next to the post-secondary training school.

The latest incident comes less than a week after some 21 people were killed in a bomb blast outside a shop in Yobe state where people had gathered to watch a World Cup match.

Public screenings of the World Cup in some parts of Nigeria have been banned because of threats by Boko Haram, who want to overthrow⁷ the government.
