BREAKING: Bomb Explosion Hits Jos Motor Park


God help our beloved country Nigeria! An explosion has occurred at the Bauchi Road motor park in Jos, and many people are feared killed.

A witness, Awalu Sani, told PREMIUM TIMES the explosion has killed a yet unknown number of people, injuring several others and destroying many vehicles.

Details of the incident are still sketchy. The Police in Jos could not be reached for comments at this time.

The report of the explosion in Jos came hours after another suicide bombing killed 20 people and injured 17 others in Biu, Borno state.

The suicide bomber, driving a tricycle, had scaled through a security checkpoint, blasting himself near a crowded neighbourhood.

The suicide attack occurred at about 3pm when the male bomber sneaked past a the checkpoint which another suicide bomber attacked last Wednesday, and detonated the explosive after alighting from a commercial tricycle, popularly known as Keke Napep.

A witness, who identified himself as Nasiru, ‎said, “The suicide bomber had come off the Keke Napep and was heading towards the roadside when the bomb went off, killing those that were inside the Keke Napep and those standing by the road side.

“Though the suicide bomber did not die immediately, he was later shot dead by angry members of Civillian-JTF. Many have been injured and some have died including the suicide bomber.”
