A bomb blast has occurred
outside the stadium where President Goodluck Jonathan addressed a campaign
rally in Gombe state today. Eyewitnesses account say the bomb was planted in a
tricycle station along Abubakar Habu Hashidu Road some 200 meters from the
stadium.
President Jonathan had left
the scene of the campaign rally some three minutes earlier. It is not known if
any member of his convoy was affected by the blast. Meanwhile, two bomb
explosions were witnessed on Sunday afternoon hours before the President’s
visit, in Gombe metropolis killing five people including the perpetrators of
the blasts barely twenty hours before President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign
visit to the State.
Reports say the blasts
which occurred within an interval of five minutes occurred at the gate of the
old Gombe market in the heart of the town around 2:50 pm while the second
occurred about five minutes later at the timber market which is directly behind
the 301 Artillery Regiment Quarter Guard of the Nigerian Army.
According to eye witness
accounts, the blast at the old Gombe market claimed the lives of a man and
woman on a motorcycle at the main road directly opposite one of the gates of
the market.
