bomb-blast

Scores of people are feared killed after an explosion ripped through a crowded motor park in Gombe town, Gombe State, residents have said.
A journalist based in the state, Mallam Tildee, told us that the blast occurred at Dukku Motor Park early Monday.
Mr. Tildee said he was on his way to the scene of the blast and would be able to give casualty figure later.
The spokesperson of the police in the state, Fwaje Atajiri, could not be reached for comments.
A similar blast had occurred in November at the Gombe line motor park, killing scores of commuters, drivers and traders.
About 15 people are reported dead, and many others injured as an explosion ripped through a crowd at the Dukku Motor park in Gombe earlier today, Monday 22nd of December, 2014.
According to reports, many of the victims were people attempting to return to their various homes for the Christmas holidays.
Eye witnesses have said that their a lot of bodies littered on the streets, but the spokesperson for the police, Fwaje Atajiri has yet to give a statement on the incident.
This is the second time there has been a Gombe Motor Park Bomb in the last month. Last month, a bomb exploded at a Gombe line motor park killing dozens.
No one has claimed responsibility for the incident but it’s widely believed that the deadly sect, Boko Haram is responsible for it.

HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED?

This man was a big Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and this is how the family wanted him remembered. So they told the funeral director that instead of placing his body in a coffin, they wanted the man placed on a recliner, with a television playing Pittsburgh Steelers highlights.

Some of us might die soon, and some of us might not die for a while, and we have all heard that statement about lasti...
