Bomb blast again in Nyanya

A loud explosion late Thursday evening rocked Nyanya, a suburb of Abuja, heightening fears of another bomb attack by Boko Haram terrorists.

Details of the explosion were sketchy at the time of this report, but residents scampered to safety as the bang reverberated across the town.

Witnesses told Pointblanknews.com that they heard a single loud explosion about 8.15 pm, and that the explosion appeared to come from the same spot a bomb killed over 100 persons weeks ago.

Pointblanknews.com could not immediately confirm if there were any casualties. However, witnesses claimed scores may have died since the blast occurred in the heart of the regular evening traffic snarl.
