Several people have been reported dead in Potiskum, in Yobe state, after a bomb went off in a bus in a motor-park.
The bombing took place around 11:40 am on Tuesday, February 24, at the Tashar Dan-Borno park.
Passengers were said to have been boarding a bus to Kano when the explosion occurred.
A drivers’ union official at the bus station, said:”The bus had just loaded with passengers on its way to Kano when a huge explosion happened inside the bus at exactly 11:40 am. We still don’t know how many people were affected. We are waiting for the fire to be put out before we can have a figure of casualty.”
The casualty figure from the blast is yet to be ascertained.
