Powerful Explosion Rocks Jos, Plateau State, Many Injured by ogododo(op): 12:24pm On Nov 12, 2024
A powerful explosion shook the city of Jos on Tuesday morning, sending shockwaves through surrounding communities.

Eyewitnesses reported that the blast occurred around 10:30 am near the densely populated Terminus market area.

Initial reports indicate that several people were injured in the blast, with some sources suggesting there may have been fatalities.

The extent of the damage remains unclear, but witnesses described scenes of destruction and chaos.

“I was nearby when I heard a loud bang,” said an eyewitness. “I saw people running and screaming. It was terrifying,” added Gyang Buba, a clothes vendor who confirmed the incident.

Emergency services, including the police, fire department, and ambulance teams, reportedly rushed to the scene to provide assistance.

The Plateau State Police Command has yet to make a public statement on the incident.

Attempts to reach the Command’s spokesman, Alabo Alfred, were unsuccessful as his phone was switched off.

However, security sources at police command headquarters in Jos confirmed the incident, adding that an investigation had been launched.

The area has been cordoned off as investigators begin to assess the situation. We are working to determine the cause of the explosion,” the source added. “We urge calm and assure the public that we will do everything possible to ensure their safety.”

Our correspondent reports that the incident has heightened security concerns in Jos, which has experienced periodic violence and unrest in recent years, with residents calling on authorities to increase security measures in the area.

Re: Powerful Explosion Rocks Jos, Plateau State, Many Injured by Flangelo12: 1:49pm On Nov 12, 2024
huh

Nigerian media always seeks to push sensational news.

Won't be surprised if it is something like a gas leakage or a tanker explosion.

For the benefit of tension, they would rather pretend not to know until everybody else knows the cause.

If there's one thing T-pain had dreamt off, it was to become the president of this country and ofcourse to enjoy every paraphernalia that comes with it.....

Now his dream has finally been achieved.....and I'm very sure he would want to enjoy every bit of his days as the president without having to experience sleepless nights and severe pokes here and there.....So therefore, I urge him to face these bitter souls from hell and crush them with every federal might his got!..

Re: Powerful Explosion Rocks Jos, Plateau State, Many Injured by Cutezt(m): 1:51pm On Nov 12, 2024
This is false news. Who ever wrote this is mad. There was no explosion anywhere in Jos, there was a bomb scare and the police came and secured the area. I repeat, there was no explosion anywhere in Jos. I have host of family and friends around the Old Juth area and they are still selling things in their various shops as I type.
