Many people were feared dead on Friday night as two blasts hit a roadside market at Nanya, a suburb of Abuja.This was as another explosion rocked Kuje, another satellite town in the Federal Capital Territory late in the evening.A female suicide bomber was said to be on her way to bomb a police station in Kuje when the explosives went off, killing her instantly and injuring passers-by. It was learnt that the twin blasts at Nyanya went off around 9.45pm at theroadside market popularly known as yankuje.Our correspondent gathered that the explosion occurred close to the spot where an explosion killed over 70 people on April 14 and on May 1, 2014.A resident of the area, Lambert Tyem, explained that he had just passed the scene when he heard two loud explosions which sent everyone running helter-skelter.He said, “I just passed the roadside market andwas sitting in front of my house when we heardtwo loud explosions. We rushed to the scene and discovered that the blast had killed many people and injured many others.“Soldiers came and cordoned off the scene; I don’t know the casualty figure, but it seems to be high because many ambulances were coming to evacuate the dead and the injured to the hospital.”The police could not be reached for comment asthe FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Manza Anjuguri did not respond to several calls to his phone.
