Another Bomb Goes Off Near Football Viewing Center In Jos, Plateau State

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 sh*ttu, 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.
