YOLA: As many as 30 people were dead while 38 were seriously injured in a bomb blast in the town of Jimeta, northeasters of Nigeria, local media reported on Friday.
According to eyewitness, the device was planted in a three wheel motorised scooter which exploded inside the market in Adamawa state.
Rescue teams shifted the bodies and the injured were shifted to the local hospital where they are getting medical treatment.
Security forces cordoned off the site and started investigation of the blast.
Nobody has claimed responsibility but the attacks bore the hallmarks of Boko Haram, the militant Islamist group that has waged a six-year insurgency in the northeast of Africa’s biggest economy and top oil exporter in a bid to set up an Islamic state.
