A twin bomb attack on a mosque in Jos has left at least 44 people dead and about 47 others injured.
Reports say that the first bomb went off at a restaurant opposite the
Bauchi campus of the University of Jos, while the second one went off
at the mosque near the Yan tyre market area of Dilimi junction along
Bauchi road about 15 minutes after.
This attack comes less than five months after a bomb was detonated exactly where Sunday’s first bomb attack went off.
The insurgents were said to have started shooting sporadically to
beat a barricade mounted by security men before launching the attack
Channels Television correspondent in Jos says that the National
Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) is on a mop up exercise at the
explosion scene.
NEMA’s North-Central Coordinator, Abdulsalam Mohammed, said that the
injured are receiving treatment at various hospitals including the
Plateau Specialist Hospital.
