There have been multiple bomb blasts in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, with two explosions recorded in Kuje, a suburb of the city.
The first occurred in front of the police station near First Bank, while the second occurred at the town’s main market, few minutes apart from other.
A third explosion was reported at Nyanya Bus Station thereafter. Nyanya was the scene of two bombings in 2014, leading to scores of death.
Unconfirmed reports from rescue workers on ground at the sites of the multiple blasts in two satellite towns of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyanya and Kuje have put the number of dead so far at 14 and 32 injured.
THISDAY gathered late yesterday night from reliable sources that the bomb blast in Nyanya which occurred almost at the same point where similar bomb went off last year killed two persons while about 12 suffered various degrees of injuries. However, the source said that the blast in Kuje which hit the area near the market and the police station recorded more casualty with about 12 dead and over 20 injured.
The Public Relations Officer (PRO), NEMA, Mr. Manzo Ezekiel, who confirmed this yesterday said casualty figures had not been fully ascertained.
As at the time of filing this report, details of the bombings were still being expected.
