Barely two weeks after deadly bomb
blasts at Nyanya bus terminal in Abuja killed 75 people and injured 200 others,
Residents of the FCT were thrown into mourning again, as another blast occurred
at exactly 8:20PM which claimed at least 12 lives and scores more injured.
The bombers, whose identities were
yet to be unmasked, struck at the same transit point they attacked exactly 18
days ago.
No group has claimed responsibility
for yesterday’s attack.
Unlike the last blast, which was
targeted at the major bus terminal, the latest attack was concentrated on the
opposite side of the terminal, which is used by commuters.
Security men, who were taken
unawares by the deadly attack, promptly mobilised and blocked all routes
leading to and from the scene of the attack.
As at 9.50pm, another NEMA ambulance
came with one injured man of about 20 years. The ambulance was accompanied by
men of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC and the Red cross.
At Asokoro Hospital, stand-by NEMA
ambulances increased to three.
