Breaking News!! Bomb Blast Rocks Yola Market This Evening, Many Feared Dead

A bomb blast suspected to be from a suicide bomber has
occurred in Yola, the capital city of Adamawa state, north
east Nigeria.



A resident of the town, Salihu Aliyu, told PREMIUM
TIMES that the blast happened in front of the Jimeta
main market at about 7:45pm.
“We just finished observing the Maghrib prayer when we
heard a loud blast in the direction of the market,” he
said.
He said the casualty figure is likely to be high because
the explosion occurred as many traders closed their
shops, and started rushing home.
“You know many traders also come out of the market
and display their wares outside the main market to also
observe the night market,” he said. “There was even
traffic gridlock in the area with many Keke Napep
operators jostling for passengers when the bomb
exploded.”
One witness said at least 10 people were killed and about
30 injured.
The police could not be reached immediately.
