UPDATED: Graphic Photos: Over 200 Killed This Afternoon In Jos Twin Bomb Blast
The bomb explosion that occurred this afternoon at the
densely populated Terminus Market near Murtala Mohammed way in Jos is
more serious than we thought. The twin explosion, which occurred 30
minutes apart, reportedly killed at least 200 people according to
eye-witnesses, making it deadlier than the Nyanya blast.
The bomb was planted in two cars, a Peugeot J5 van and a Toyota Sienna SUV with a Gombe state license plate number. Eye-witnesses said the car had been parked near the busy market since early this morning and had even drawn the curiosity of people in the area who allegedly alerted the police. It exploded many hours later. See a photos of some bodies being removed from the scene below
The police have reduced the number of people that died today when twin
bombs went off at Terminus market in Jos, to 42, but some eye-witnesses
insist the number is way higher than that...marking it up to over 200
because it's the commercial hub of the city and was filled with people
when the blast occurred.
