So many lost their lives in
a bomb blast that raged the ever-busy Central Market in Bauchi yesterday (23/12/2014) with scores
sustaining serious injuries.
Eyewitnesses said a female suicide
bomber carried out the act as a fully loaded bus was about to depart. The bomb
was planted near the bus, filled with passengers, said Mato Yakubu of the
National Orientation Agency.
Mallam Abubakar Yakubu, Secretary of
the Nigeria Red Cross Society, Gombe State Branch, told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Gombe that members of the society evacuated 20 identified dead
bodies and deposited at the Gombe Specialist Hospital mortuary.
He said the 18 that sustained
injuries were admitted at the specialist hospital and at the Musaba Clinic.
Abubakar Yakubu said his staff sent 20 body bags to the scene and “they have all been exhausted. We are still looking for more bodies in the carnage,” he told AFP.
