The City of Jos Nigeria had today witnessed double and almost consecutive bomb explosion near the same site where about 118 people lost their lives last month close to the terminus area of the Jos market.
At the time of reporting, about 31 people are confirmed to have lost their lives while dozens are injured as the exlposions were targeted at the citys commercial district close to the terminal bus station infront of Mr. Biggs fastfood though yet to be confirmed as reported by the vanguard reporter.
The targeted area usually witness high human traffic in the evenings as after the shutdown of the major market in May 2014 due to the twain explosions that killed about 118 people, street traders had taken over the terminus area to sell their wares.
Nonetheless, no one has taken responsibility for todays blast though all suspicion are channelled towards the Boko Haram terror group who in their quest to gain Islamic states had wasted lots of lives
Also last month, about 100 Muslim worshippers lost their lives while worshipping in one of the biggest mosque in Kano after a bomb explosion with about 30 confirmed dead in Maidugiri Borno State where there was a twain bomb explosion
The Boko Haram group is headbent on gaining an Islamic state where Sharia laws could be highly taught and respected.
With the political, civil and economic unrest bedeviling the Nigerian economy, the countrys hope of recovery highly depends on its citizens ability to judiciously elect the right candidate into office come 2015 elections.
