At about 5.28pm on Monday, a bomber
struck at the Central Market in Bauchi when
traders were preparing to close for the day.
When jounalists in the state
visited the scene, tension was high as some
angry youths ordered journalists to leave or be
attacked .
Gunshots were fired by security agencies at
the scene to scare away the youths but they
responded with stones and other dangerous
objects.
An eyewitness, Mu’azu Musa, said he saw
bodies of the victims being evacuated from
the scene of the blast.
Musa, a commercial motorcyclist, added that
he found himself in the hospital after losing
consciousness on seeing the charred bodies of
the victims.
At the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching
Hospital, one of our correspondents saw
injured victims taken there by Red Cross
officials.
The Deputy Chairman, Medical Advisory
Council of the hospital, Saidu Kadas, told
journalists that the actual casualty figure
could not be ascertained as more victims were
being brought in.
Also, the Chairman of the ATBUTH branch of
the Nigerian Union of Allied Health
Professionals, Mr. Idris Ado, said that striking
health workers had been called upon to report
for work on Tuesday(today) to help in treating
the wounded victims.
Governor Isa Yuguda, in a statement,
condemned the blast as most unfortunate and
barbaric.
The governor, according to the statement by
his Chief Press Secretary, Ishola Adeyemi, said
those behind the attack were cowards.
He told the people that his administration
would not relent in its efforts to ensure that
their lives and property were protected .
