Breaking News: Boko Haram Destroy Markets In Jos With 3 Bomb Blasts

Three blasts rocked the city of Jos in central Nigeria on Tuesday, two local journalists said.

The blasts caused casualties, but it was not immediately clear how many.

A journalist on the scene of the first explosion called it “massive.” People were screaming and running, some covered in blood. Some had to be carried away, the journalist said.

The first blast was a bomb that detonated at the Terminus market, where food and clothes are sold, the journalists said. The second blast was at the same market, and could have been a bomb or a gas canister ignited by the first bomb.

The third explosion was at Abuja market, which sells shoes, the journalists said.

When CNN tried to speak with a nurse at a local hospital by phone, she was unable to hear because of victims’ cries and screams.

  4. My concern at this point is nt about the blast. I want to plead with our government and the presidency to take a look at the future days of this month and that is my major concern, most especialy this up coming national day 27 may. Plz our future leaders shuld not be wasted by this absent and mindless pepetrators called boko haram in the name of 27 may. The sad news today is a clear picture to me that the so called boko haram may have evil in mind against that day. I should sugest that government instead of seeing that day what it shuld be, shuld declear that day a public praying day for all, in favour of this dear country. I beleave that its better for us to cry to God almighty today and selebrate next season. Plz our childrens life.

  5. @ Frank you reasoned well so that the Igbos should go back home and develop their own land. Your thought is related with that of Fani Kayode the former Minister who was requesting for Oduduwa nation. The prophets e.g. Primate Olabayo have predicterd the possible disintegration into the original Creation of three separate countries before the amalgamation.

  6. Anchor! Anchor!!.. . .Anchor!!! How many times have i called you? Do you read your bible at all? Repent now, take your bible and study it well, from Gens-to-Revs. Start going to church to worship with fellow good christians. Stop that life of sleeping in brotels, drinking yourself to oblivion and texting rubish on the net to display your ignorance. And as for you, Frank and GAA, do you think disintegration is the best solution to our problem? Why are you people dancing to the tune of the mischief makers who does’nt want the progress of this country?
