Two big explosions rock Jos, many killed

Two big explosions this afternoon ripped through the market located at Jos Terminus behind the popular Ahmadu Bello way in Jos, Plateau state.

Details are sketchy at the moment and the number of casualty is unknown but eye-witnesses are tweeting pics from the scene. Details later. See more pics after the cut...

Update: The first explosion occurred at 2.30pm, the second one 30 minutes later, killing scores. The first explosion reportedly went off in a Sienna Space bus, but didn't kill many people but the second one, which occurred as people came back to rescue the injured from the first explosion, recorded a high number of casualty. Men of the Fire Service, NEMA and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps are currently at the scene helping with rescue efforts.

Why do they always get to their destination? Why can't the bomb blast at military check points? I think the security agents just let them pass. Our security agents definitely know somtin we don't know.

Gowon and all of you that fought the igbos to stay united in your one nigeria, where are you?? You have finally seen that the marriage is not working and will never work. You killed biafrans and forced them to stay in your nigeria and almost 50yrs after, you are still raising swords against the nigeria you fought to keep united. You are all jokers. 2015 hasn't reached and it is like this smh.

Oya, lets start rolling out what we do best: Shouting "Jesus" "God dey" "End times" "May God save us" etc

When we should be calling for the resignation of this lame duck president. If this was a real country he would have been impeached since the terrorists started killing students in their schools. South korean prime minister resigned over a ferry crash were 200 people died. How many people have died in Nigeria now?

ps: Yes, it is his fault. As commander in chief, he is ULTIMATELY responsible for the failure of security in the state

Unknown said...

I hate nigeria...am so ashamed to be a nigeria...why can't we split so each country can re strategies cos never is like a rotten orange..it can never get any better being together...its best we divide..so we can look inward into ourself...our security system is so spoilt that it's too late to resuscitate..nigeria didn't grow just worst today...not with jonathan..its been worst since 1960...so its so bad when we blame jonathan about everything tho he has a lot to be blamed for....i rest my case
