place and plumes of smoke rising into the sky.
One of the blasts hit the federal police headquarters in the city and two other police stations, he says.
No-one has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but Islamist militants have been behind a recent
campaign of violence in the mainly Muslim north.
Our reporter says there is also a shoot-out going on at the police's state head office in the east of the
city.
The blasts targeted different neighbourhoods of the city. So far he is aware of explosions at the federal
police headquarters in the west of the city, one police station in the centre, and another police station in the south.
A reporter for the AP news agency said one of the explosions was powerful enough to shake his car several miles away from the blast.
More news on this as story unfolds.
