More than 200 people are feared dead
in an explosion which rocked an outskirts of Abuja, the Nigerian capital, this
morning.
The explosion sounded in a highly
populated motor park in Nyanya, less than five minutes drive from the Abuja
city Center.....More...
It is not clear yet how the bomb was
ferried into the park, but witnesses suspect it was planted by a suicide
bomber.
Several dead bodies now litter the
blood spattered park and the expressway leading to the city.
Some of the dead victims and the
injured are being taken to hospital by ambulances and vans belonging to the
police, the Vehicle Inspection Office, Federal Road Safety Commission, the
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and the National Emergency Management
Agency.
Our reporter counted more than 50
bodies that were yet to be evacuated. But witnesses said more than 150 bodies
may have been moved before our reporter’s arrival.
Some of the bodies are mangled
beyond recognition.
Several vehicles, including about 12
government-owned high capacity buses operated by the Abuja Mass Transit Company
Limited, were destroyed in the attack.
Some of the buses were said to be
loaded with passengers when the explosion occurred.
