Jos- The gradual calm being experienced
in the Plateau State capital was again
shattered weekend as two separate
bomb blasts rocked parts of the city
creating anxiety among residents.
The first blast occurred at about 9.30 pm
on Saturday in Angwan Rimi area while
another exploded along Sarki Mangu
Street at about 6.30 am on Sunday.
No lives were, however, lost in the blasts
but a car and nearby building were
damaged.
Security officers spoken to described the
blasts as minor.
It was learnt that Saturday’s blast came
from an empty groundnut oil can
believed to have been laden with
explosives shattering a taxi parked in
the streets and damaging nearby
buildings.
Sunday’s blast which occurred near the
residence of the national leader of the
Izala Islamic Sect, along Sarkin Mangu
Street left no property damaged.
Commissioner of police in the state, Mr.
Dipo Ayeni confirmed the blasts adding
that the anti bomb unit of the police was
despatched to the two scenes as soon as
the reports were received.
He said they combed the areas and
found no other explosives while no
arrest has been made. He advised the
people to be calm and go about their
duties adding that security agencies
were investigating the incidents.
The Special Task Force maintaining
security in the state had last week
dismissed rumors that members of the
dreaded Boko Haram Sect were in the
state advising people to ignore the
rumors and go about their normal
business.

am so suprised hearing it on Channels TV as well.
guess it was a minor explosion unlike what was written in Vanguard.
Jos is relatively peaceful at the moment. no cause for alarm.

So, vanguard now publishes lies?? Interesting!

Its really not encouraging, I also heard it in the press report this morning
