At least one person was on Thursday killed and several others injured after a group of suspected armed robbers attacked a Vita Foam store in Ibrahim Taiwo road, opposite the popular Kantin Kwari textile market in Kano, North West Nigeria.

Eyewitnesses told Channels Television’s correspondent in Kano that the robbers “arrived on two motorcycles at about 5pm and enterered a shop reportedly selling Vita Foam products while transaction was on-going.”

“They collected money and instantly shot and killed one of the boys at the shop,” Aminu Adamu said.

Efforts to confirm the incident from the state’s police command was not successful as the police spokesperson did not answer calls to his telephone as at the time of publishing this report.

Thursday’s attack comes 16 days after an armed robbery attack on popular Wapa bureau-de-change in Kano led to the killing of one person and leaving many others with various degrees of injury.
