No fewer than 50 people were killed and many others injured when two bombs went off in Gombe central market, where customers were making last-minute Ramadan shopping on Thursday evening. An eyewitness, Mallam Ibrahim Mohammed, who sells oranges in the market, told newsmen that the first bomb went off at exactly 5:20pm with the second exploding a few metres away from where the first went off. Narrating his experience amid tears, the distraught young man said he saw about 50 dead bodies. A member of the Nigeria Red Cross Society, who pleaded anonymity, said he counted about 48 dead bodies and that the corpses were deposited at the mortuary of the Specialist Hospital and Federal Teaching Hospital, Gombe. Gombe State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Kudu Nma, confirmed the incident. He said, “There was a bomb blast. The (bomber) was either on a suicide mission or (may be) the bombs were kept somewhere with the view to causing panic and apprehension to people.” According to him, the bomb exploded at the Sabon Layi footwear market. “People were busy shopping in preparation for the Sallah festival. The casualties are yet to be ascertained. As you can see, people are busy working, trying to save lives; for now we cannot tell you the number of casualties,” the police commissioner said. He said the police had condoned off the place to avoid looting, adding that relative calm had returned to the area. Nma called on the public to be vigilant and report any suspicious movement to security agents.

Not fewer than 50.. So they are more, we need help... Where are the new security chiefs?

Not again

Change has come.

Change from once in 1 or 2months bombing to once or twice a day bombing.

Change from 2-10 people dying per explosion to 20-100 people dying.

Change from a government who sees Boko Haram as enemies of the state to Government hu sees an attack on Boko Haram as an attack on thé North.

Change from a Government hu jails Boko Haram members to Government hu frees Boko Haram members.

Change from a Government that imposes road blocks to check movement of Boko Haram activities to a Government that removes road block so Boko Haram can expand their territories.

Change from a secular government to a jihadist government.

MY BROTHERS IN THE NORTH, THIS IS THE CHANGE U CLAMOURED, DIED AND KILLED FOR. HOPE U ARE ENJOYING IT?

cc afam4eva ikenna351 pls do the needful.

Sad to say this but I have to add this line.

Gombe voted massively for Buhari. There is a strong possibility that 2/3 of the dead must have sincerely voted for Buhari with hopes that he will alleviate their situation.

For Muhamadu Buhari to keep mute on the sufferings of his supporters tells us a lot about the true nature of this man. He prefers his fumbling spokesmen to give the messages while he continues confused and in a state of dementia.

Barrack Obama makes it a point to personally speak on such attacks in his country and around world. Buhari has a long way to go as a Leader.

Barrack Obama

The north destroying itself is a welcome development to us so far as they do not cross the Onitsha Niger bridge.

Kudos to the Northerners for doing a good job over there.
