Just as news filtered in about the Kaduna Bomb blast, sporadic gunshots was heard at the Alaba International Market in Lagos.
Eye witness say dare devil robbers attacked the market and in their bid to escape the piled traffic congestion,they started shooting indiscriminately to scare away people.
The gunshots which went on for about half an hour was said to have put panic in the minds of people as shop owners hurriedly locked up their shops while buyers and commuters ran helter skelter in search of safety.
