people in Jos, the Plateau State capital, another round of
explosion has gone off in the city Saturday night, residents
and a security official say.
Residents say the explosion occurred along Bauchi Road near
the University of Jos, Jos North Local Government Area.
The sound of the explosion was heard in Jos South LGA, about
25 kilometres away from the scene.
A witness, Tank Shittu, who rushed to the scene five minutes
after the blast, said the explosion occurred near a car park,
few meters away from a security checkpoint.
The spokesperson of the Police State Command of the Nigeria
Police, Felicia Ali, confirmed the incident but said details
were still sketchy.
A resident said the suicide bomber died 20 metres from a
viewing centre where football fans gathered to watch the
ongoing final of the UEFA Champions League between Real
Madrid and Athletico Madrid. That could not be
independently verified at this time.
Multiple explosions had on May 20 occurred around the ever-
busy Jos Main Market, between Railway Terminus and the
temporary site of the Jos University Teaching Hospital, killing
over 200 people.
Details later…
