BREAKING NEWS: Explosion Rocks Jos Again

Just as the remains of the victims of the previous devastating Jos twin explosion were buried yesterday, yet another blast rocked the Plateau State capital at about 9 p.m. today.
The authorities are yet to issue a statement regarding the incident, and casualty figure is yet to be ascertained.


Residents suggest the explosion occurred along Bauchi Road, near the old University of Jos Teaching Hospital in Jos North local government area. They add the sound of explosion could be heard from afar and that it could have possibly occurred at a viewer center where people gathered to watch today's football match, Champions' League final (Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid). 

The location, they say, is near a car park, few meters away from a security checkpoint.

It would be recalled that hundreds of Jos residents were killed four days ago in a series of two explosions at the city's crowded Terminus market.
