people were feared killed on Tuesday when
an explosion occurred at a motor park in Jimeta, Yola,
the capital of Adamawa State.
The blast, sources said, could have come from
Improvised Explosive Device allegedly planted by
members of the Boko Haram sect.
Eyewitnesses said that the motor park was not from a
vegetable market. “I cannot say how many people died
in the explosion but human parts littered the place. It
happened when traders were closing shop for the
day,” a resident, who simply identified himself as
Mustapha, said.
Security agents were said to have rushed to the scene
to take the injured to the hospital while the dead were
taken to mortuaries of some medical facilities in the
town.
As of the time of filing this report the police had not
issued any statement on the incident.
