A bomb is said to have gone off at
about 9:45pm in a bus station in Bauchi State
An
explosion has occurred in a bus station in Bauchi State and is believed to be the
work of terrorist sect,
Boko Haram.
The
bomb went off in the Azare
area of the state at about 9:45pm on Wednesday, October 22, AFP reports.
According
to a resident, Musa
Babale:
"We had a huge blast at exactly 9:45pm (20:45
GMT)... We realised it had come from the bus station." "The whole
place was a mess."
This
is the latest in a string of attacks that have cast doubt on the authenticity of the
recently announced ceasefire between the Nigerian government and Boko Haram.
Unconfirmed
reports say 5 people were killed in the incident while an unspecified number
suffered varying degrees of injury.
