There have been multiple bomb blasts by suspected Boko Haram
terrorists in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, with two explosions recorded in
Kuje, a suburb of the city.
The insurgents struck Friday evening, killing a yet unknown
number of people and wounding even more.
The first occurred in
front of the police station, while the second occurred at the town’s main
market, 15 minutes apart from other.
A
third explosion was reported at Nyanya Bus Station thereafter. Nyanya was the
scene of two bombings in 2014, leading to scores of death.
Abuja,
a bit remote from the frontline of Boko Haram war had seen several bombings,
beginning from the attack on Police Headquarters in June 2011, UN Headquarters
in August 2011, Nyanya Bus Station, April 2014 and Barnez Plaza in June last
year.
All
the bombs were claimed by Boko Haram.
