Just few hours after a blast killed over 20 people in
Gombe state, another bomb explosion has happened
at a market in Bauchi state.
Although details of the attack are sketchy, Premium
Times reports that one witness said the blast occurred
at about 5:30 p.m. as traders were preparing to close
for the day.
It was also made known that the explosion occurred
near a police outpost inside the market.
The police spokesperson, Haruna Mohammed,
confirmed the attack but said he had no details yet.
At least 15 people were killed in the attack. It would
be recalled that the blast came hours after another
explosion killed 19 people in neighbouring Gombe
State.
Police said the Gombe attack occurred at a crowded
bus station, and that 25 people were injured. A similar
attack occurred in Gombe October 31 killing 23 people.
More details later.
