5 persons have been reportedly killed in a bomb blast outside a motor park in Gombe state.
According to AFP, the attack bore the hallmarks of boko haram. Narrating how it happened, Muhammad Garkuwa, a drivers’ union official said, ''We had an explosion outside the motor park (bus station) this evening around 8:30 pm (1930 GMT) which killed five people and injured 15 others. The explosion was from an explosive left by a woman in her handbag beside a bus waiting to convey passengers to Jos''.
''No-one suspected her. People around assumed she was making calls before the bus filled up. As she was talking in the phone she moved away from the bus towards a row of kiosks, as if she wanted to buy something, leaving her bag where she was standing.
''She disappeared and the bag exploded soon after, setting the bus on fire. I saw five dead and several injured''.
No official statement has been released on the attack.
