Fwaje Atajiri, the police public relations officer in the state, confirmed the attack at Dadin Kowa, saying the police had cordoned off the area to prevent hoodlums from taking advantage of the situation.
Umaru Sani, a shopkeeper, said a second bomb went off at Nasarawo junction near the same bus station, where people were selling vegetables.
An official with the National Emergency Management Agency said at least seven people had been killed but they were still picking up bodies from the blast sites. They happened after I had closed my shop for the day. The blasts bore the hallmarks of Boko Haram, which has previously targeted crowded bus stations, markets, mosques and churches during its bloody six-year insurgency. I counted up to 30 dead bodies. “I became sick and left”.
Three explosions have rocked Gombe, the capital of Gombe state, a week after twin blasts killed 50 people at the city’s central market.
Idris said that the number of Boko Haram attacks has increased over the past two months, since Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in as Nigeria’s new president on May 29.
