The death toll from the bomb explosion that occurred this afternoon at the densely populated Terminus Market near Murtala Mohammed way has been reported as about 200 dead. The twin explosions, which occurred 30 minutes apart reportedly killed at least 200 people according to eye-witnesses, making it deadlier than the Nyanya blast.
The bomb was planted in two cars, a Peugeot J5 van and a Toyota Sienna Suv with a Gombe state license plate number. Eye-witnesses said the car had been parked near the busy market since early this morning and had even drawn the curiosity of people in the area who allegedly alerted the police in the area.
