Abuja, the nation’s capital was thrown into mourning yesterday, following the death of 71 persons in a bomb blast that took place at the Nyanya bus park in a suburb of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
For a while, it appeared like Abuja had been turned to a city of blood
and grief, no thanks to the activities of the mindless insurgents.
The bomb blast, which occurred between 6.30 and 6.45 am, left 124
others injured and dismembered as hospitals, emergency services and
security personnel struggled to handle the situation.
