BREAKING NEWS: Another Bomb Blast Rocks Jos

Less than a week after multiple explosion killed over 200
people in Jos, the Plateau State capital, another round of
explosion has gone off in the city Saturday night,
residents and a security official say.
Residents say the explosion occurred along Bauchi Road
near the University of Jos, Jos North Local Government
Area.

The sound of the explosion was heard in Jos South LGA,
about 25 kilometres away from the scene.
A witness, Tank Shittu, who rushed to the scene five
minutes after the blast, said the explosion occurred near
a car park, few meters away from a security checkpoint.
The spokesperson of the Police State Command of the
Nigeria Police, Felicia Ali, confirmed the incident but said
details were still sketchy.

A resident said the suicide bomber died 20 metres from
a viewing centre where football fans gathered to watch
the ongoing final of the UEFA Champions League
between Real Madrid and Athletico Madrid. That could
not be independently verified at this time.
Multiple explosions had on May 20 occurred around the
ever-busy Jos Main Market, between Railway Terminus
and the temporary site of the Jos University Teaching
Hospital, killing over 200 people.
