NEMA Confirms 27 Dead, 96 Injured From Yola Mosque Blast by Arijosh(m): 8:46pm On Oct 23, 2015 |
The NEMA Coordinator in Adamawa, Mallam Sa’ad
Bello, said 27 people were confirmed dead and 96
injured from the blast that rocked a Friday Juma’at
mosque in Jambutu area of Yola.
Bello told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) Friday that
the dead and injured have been taken to Federal
Medical Centre and Specialist Hospital Yola.
“So far we have recorded 27 death and 96 injured
from the mosque blast”, Bello said.
Bello called on the public to come and donate blood
to save lives.
Also speaking after visiting the hospitals to
sympathise with the victims, Gov Bindow Jibrilla,
condemned the incident and urged for more
vigilance.
“I also want to appeal to the public to troop out and
donate blood to the injured”, Bello said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the
blast at the newly opened mosque occurred few
minutes after the mosque was inaugurated by the
District Head of Jimeta, Alhaji Muhammed Baba-
Paris.
The district head along with other dignitaries
including a former Minister, Alhaji Hassan Adamu
narrowly escaped the blast as they left the mosque
shortly after the inauguration to observe their
prayers at their usual juma’at mosque in Jimeta area
of Yola. (NAN) |
