Bomb Blast That Happened In Abuja Early Yesterday

A bomb was planted in a Volkswagen Golf car. The car exploded at a crowded bus station in Nyanya, Abuja, Nigeria yesterday. The early morning bombing killed at least 71 people and over 500 people injured.

Some passers-by also sustained different degrees of injuries.

Earlier before the bomb blast, the bubbly Nyanya Motor Park, was crowded with workers and people waiting to board vehicles to their different places of work and offices in Abuja.

Soldiers and bomb disposal experts have cordoned off the area over suspicion of an undetonated bomb, while people were warned not to move near the explosion scene.

The spokesman of the National Emergency Management Agency, Manzo Ezekiel, speaking on the bomb blast said: “This morning there was an explosion at the Nyanya Motor Park.

“Rescue teams are already on ground.

“There were so many people there at that time, so we think there must have been some injuries.”
