A German, whose name could not be confirmed as at press time, has been kidnapped in Kano, Kano State.
It was learnt that the German works for Saayau Dantata, a businessman in Kano.
His kidnap coincided with the explosion in the Sabon Gari area of the city as earlier reported by The Eagle Online.
Two persons were reported to be injured in the explosion that occurred on a day President Goodluck Jonathan said government was finding it difficult to initiate dialogue with the masterminds of the explosions, Boko Haram, because it neither knows its demands or the faces behind the group.
Jonathan made his position known shortly after the leader of Boko Haram, Imam Abubakar Shekau, said that the group cannot be crushed by the government.
Shekau also said that the group was not responsible for most of the deaths recorded in Friday’s explosions in Kano.
It said its targets were security operatives and Christians but that soldiers used the opportunity of the attack to kill a lot of civilians.
