Five Persons Killed, 12 Injured in Bauchi Bomb Explosion
Barely a week after the federal government announced a ceasefire deal
with the outlawed Boko Haram sect, five persons were killed while 12
others sustained varying degrees of injuries in a bomb explosion at a motor park roundabout on Wednesday night at Azare town in Bauchi State.
Azare is the commercial nerve centre in the northern part of the state, which is a four-hour drive from the state capital.
Our source learnt that the incident which occurred around 9.55p.m. in
the busy area of the town, caused panic and anxiety among residents who
scampered for safety.
Confirming the incident while briefing
journalists yesterday in Bauchi, the state Police Command Public
Relations Officer (PPRO), Haruna Mohammed, disclosed that the five
persons were burnt beyond recognition.
He said those injured were rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in the town for medical attention.
The PPRO further added that all the corpses had been evacuated to the mortuary.
Our source gathered that the entire surrounding had been cordoned off
and the scene secured by the Police Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit
from the state Police command headquarters.
However, no arrest has so far been made but investigation had commenced to ascertain the cause of the incident.
