An explosion has occurred in a bus station in Bauchi State and is believed to be the work of terrorist sect, Boko Haram.
The bomb went off in the Azare area of the state at about 9:45pm on Wednesday, October 22, AFP reports.
According to a resident, Musa Babale:
“We heard a huge blast at exactly 9:45pm (20:45 GMT)… We realised it had come from the bus station.” “The whole place was a mess.”
This is the latest in a string of attacks that have cast doubt on the authenticity of the recently announced ceasefire between the Nigerian government and Boko Haram.
Unconfirmed reports say 5 people were killed in the incident while an unspecified number suffered varying degrees of injury.
