Yola Blast’s Dead Toll Hits 70, Poly Loses Four Students by HzRF(m): 6:24pm On Oct 26, 2015
Umar Mohammed, Yola

The death toll in the mosque explosion in Yola last Friday has risen to 70, says the National Emergency Management Agency.

Among the victims were four students of the Adamawa State Polytechnic, where the Jambutu Jumaat Mosque is built.

The NEMA Coordinator in the state, Mr Saad Bello, and his counterpart in the Nigerian Red Cross Society, Mallam Aliyu Maikano, confirmed that the casualty figure had risen to 70 from the initial 40 victims reported.

The affected Mosque is sited in the Polytechnic Jambutu campus, about five kilometers from the main campus.

Speaking with our correspondent on the telephone, the state Commissioner for Higher Education, Alhaji Hamid Rufai, confirmed that though 25 students and staff of the institution were caught up in the vicinity of the blast, four students died while tow staff members were injured.

“Out of the 25 affected, four students lost their lives while the rest, including two staff members, sustained varying degrees of injuries,” he added.

A Federal Government delegation, led by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Dr. Lawal Babachir, visited Yola on Saturday to sympathise with the government and people of Adamawa State.

May Allah bless their souls, forgive them of their sins, make their grave a garden and grant them the highest levels of paradise.

Damn. 70 gone at a go.
The united states need to wade into this issue with the seriousness it deserves.
The Nigerian govt if left alone would see everybody wiped out.
We need 100 units of predator and reaper drones roaming the north-eastern skies, taking out enemy formations before they strike.

Buhari has clearly shown us that he lacks the capability of ending this insurgency. It's obvious he's boys no longer control things within the Boko Haram circle.

In all honesty,Buhari needs to Resign.. He's obviously overwhelmed by the enormous problems of this country..
When will these killings stop? When are we the masses gonna say;Enough of these deceits? Isn't it obvious that this administration is inept and lacks the required experience to lead us? At what point are things going to get better? For how long are we to mourn our fellow country men and women? These are people with dreams and a healthy future. Nigerians really made a huge mistake!
