Nigeria deadly blasts hit Gombe motor parks

Multiple explosions have rocked at Dadin Kowa motor park in Gombe state around 7:30 pm on Wednesday July 22.

The blasts, suspected to be from Improvised Explosive Devices worn by Boko Haram suicide bombers.

 ''Two suicide bombers attacked Dadin Kowa bus station this evening,'' a source told TheCable. ''The park is one of the busiest in the town. You get vehicles going to Biu, Maiduguri, Yola but activities are usually low in the evening. So, we just hope that the casualty would not be high.''

''It is true that there were bomb attacks in the motor park but the casualty figure is not yet known,'' police public relations officer in the state Fwaje Atajiri confirmed the attack at Dadin Kowa. ''The injured have been taken to the hospital and the area has been cordoned off to prevent hoodlums from taking advantage of the situation to loot people’s property. Details would be made known to you later. For now what is clear is that, there has been blast and the police has moved in.''
