Jos - Mohammed Abdulsalam, the North-Central
Coordinator of National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), on Tuesday said the death toll from Sunday's bomb blast in Jos had risen from 44 to 51.
Abdulsalam gave the figure in an interview in Jos.
As at Monday, NEMA confirmed that 44 persons died from the blast and about 67 sustained serious injuries of different proportions.
The NEMA coordinator, however, said "one person died at the Plateau Specialist Hospital last night and six additional
dead bodies were discovered from the scene of the blast by security agencies.
"It then means that the number of deaths has increased
from 44 to 51."
Abdulsalam said that the injured had been admitted at
various hospitals and were given adequate medical care, while the International Red Cross (IRC) provided drugs and consumables.
According to him, more support is on the way, as a foreign group, French Medical Group also known as Doctors without borders, promises to render assistance.
Similarly, the acting Chief Medical Director at the Plateau specialist Hospital, Dr Golwal Timothy, told the media that the number of patients on admission had reduced, as three had been discharged.
The chief medical director added that the lack of bed space that became feasible on Monday was being addressed.
He said that the hospital was decongesting the wards in
order to create space for victims of the blast.

smh...

This ought to be the body count of our politicians and not some innocent citizens whose only crime is delegation of their collective God give right to defend themselves to some Gworo munching guy in Aso Villa.

From what i heard, many more people are in critical condition in various hospitals within Jos, and the hospitals do not have enough personnel to carter for the victims. They also begging people to come and donate blood but the turn out has been somewhat low..

Nigeria is messed up, Iraq isn't even as bad as this.

Y?

This is CHANGE from West Germany.

They said he is the answer to Nigeria's numerous problems. We told them that no past leader has laid down practical steps to solving Nogeria's problems like Jonathan did. They said GEJ is slow, we agreed but told them it took over 40 years to damage Nigeria, 5 years would not have been enough to correct all. They said no, it is either CHANGE or Blood of DOG and BABOON will flow. Kai, we said we don't need blood.

Obama supported CHANGE, Cameron supported CHANGE, where are they ? Where are CHIBOK girls ?

GEJ the slow operator purposely overran SAMBISA forest in the last three weeks of his government and delivered over 1,000 women, girls and children from sambisa. None was CHIBOK. Nigerians have been scammed.
