Expl*sives hidden inside vehicles detonated during morning rush hour in a bus station in Nyanya on the outskirts of Abuja. After the initial blast, further explosions occurred as fuel tanks in nearby vehicles ignited.
It was something you never wish to see. Body parts were everywhere and people shocked by the bomb ran into the drainage system and injured themselves.
Abbas Idris, head of the Abuja Emergency Relief Agency, confirmed that 71 people had been killed and 124 injured. The bus station serves a ethnically and religiously mixed community.
Manzo Ezekiel, spokesman of the National Emergency Management Agency, confirmed that numerous injured victims were undergoing treatment in the hospital.
By April 15, the death toll had increased to 75, as investigators continued to sift through the wreckage at the blast site. By April 18, the death toll had increased to 88, with more than 200 reported injured.
Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the bombing six days after it occurred. It occurred just hours before the Chibok kidnapping.
Nigerian President at the time Goodluck Jonathan visited the scene of the blast, where he said: “We have lost quite a number. We condole with our country men and women. The issue of Boko Haram is quite an ugly history within this period of our own development. Government is doing everything to make sure that we move our country forward. But these are the unnecessary distractions that are pushing us backward. But we will get over it.”
After so many years of closure, the Nyanya park is now open and still serving the transport needs of Nigerian.
