At least, 45 persons were killed and 46 others injured yesterday afternoon in the twin bomb blasts that hit the popular Jos terminus market.
According to Mr Chris Olakpe, the Commissioner of Police, who addressed newsmen on the incident, said that the blast also injured 45 people.
He said that the first bomber came in a Fiat bus and parked at the market’s central business area while the second blast, which was concealed in a Siena bus, happened 100 metres away from the first one.
Olakpe said that the casualty figures were collated after visits to Plateau Specialist Hospital and Bingham Hospital, Jos.
"Like I told you, there should be more because we have not gone to the new and old Jos University Teaching Hospitals,’’ he further explained.
