Report coming in states that twin bomb blasts have hit the
ancient city of Jos.
Witnesses say simultaneous bombs have exploded at a
motor park and opposite a university in the city of Jos,
Plateau state, Nigeria.
They say that the first blast was outside the university gate
while the other blast was by the gates of Bauchi Park.
Daily trust are reporting that a suicide bomber was
responsible for one of the attacks, the one at the motor park
in Bauchi road.
As of now, the amount of casualties is still unknown, but the
University of Jos Pharmacy gate is usually crowded and
conveys passengers from Jos to Bauchi.
Daily trust correspondents close to the scene saw Special
Task Force and Nigerian Police evacuating corpses and the
injured as they speed pass the Bauchi road area.
Reuters have confirmed the news and said that
simultaneous bombs exploded at a bus station and opposite
a university.
“There was a loud explosion opposite the university along
the Bauchi road, and another one at the Bauchi road motor
park,” Garba Musa, a newspaper vendor along the road, told
Reuters by telephone.
Military spokesman in Plateau state capital Jos confirmed
the news to Vanguard but failed to state the number of
casualties.
One witness on the scene, driver Ibrahim Hashidu, told AFP
that 17 people had been confirmed dead, with the first
explosion killing five people and the second causing 12
deaths.
One source told Sahara reporters that the first blast
happened at the entrance of the University of Jos near the
College of Forestry, where the students are writing exams.
While the second one was at the second biggest park in Jos,
Central Motor Park which is also located close to a military
checkpoint.
The blasts were said to have been 200 meters apart and are
said to have occurred just before 5pm. It is also notable that
there was a blast last year on this same stretch of road.
The Plateau State Commissioner of Police, Nasiru Oki has
revealed that 13 people died in the attack and 14 people
were injured.
Reporters however counted nine courses at the scene of the
Plateau State Specialist Hospital mortuary and 11 injured
people hospitalized at the intensive care unit of the hospital.
The nine corpses were placed on the mortuary floor and
also one of the dead were a police traffic officer.
The corpses are said to all had injuries to the head with one
being completely mutilated.
The hospital management have however declined to
comment on the issue, but one nurse told Premium times
that most of the injured victims were in stable condition
Friday morning.
She called for blood donations.
Four of the injured are currently being treated at the
Bingham University Teaching Hospital. One passed away
unfortunately this morning.
University of Jos spokesperson, Abdullahi Abdullahi has
denied the news going around that 12 students had passed
away.
He said: “The report in some national dailies that the
University of Jos lost 12 of it students to the blast was false.
No student or any member of the university community was
affected by the explosions. As I speak with you the second
semester examinations are ongoing. We have intensified
security of lives and property in all our campuses.”
