Seven others injured in the attack, are being treated at Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital.
It was reported that the Kano Police Commissioner, Aderele Shinaba, told journalists at the scene of the bomb attack, that two female suicide bombers arrived at the market pretending to be buyers of textile materials.
He said as soon as they entered the market they went behind an Access Bank in the area, and requested water they could ease themselves with in one of the market latrines.
When denied water, he said the two women engaged the sellers in an argument, drawing a crowd before the two bombers detonated their explosives.
The police spokesman said after the bomb exploded, there was pandemonium with people running for safety.
Kantin Kwari textile market is rated the largest market in northern Nigeria, with several thousands of traders from all over Nigeria and neighbouring West African countries doing business there on daily basis.
This is the newest after the Kano central mosque multiple bomb blast which occurred 2 weeks ago that killed more than 100 people.
Our government should do something oh, this is really getting out of hands. Our leaders are busy campaigning for next year election while our people are dying everyday.
this is really serious end time is here. the bible says ''the heart of man is desperately wicked''. this words keeps me wondering.................. God help us.
