“We were inside the mosque when we started hearing gunshots. In the process, we all abandoned our prayers and started to run outside. It was in the ensued confusion that the bomb went off. I was lucky to have escaped by the whisker.
“After the blast, we saw plenty of mutilated bodies of those killed all over the premises of the mosque. I cannot say precisely how many were killed, but they were over 50,” he narrated.
While confirming the incident, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) stated that 47 others were critically injured and were receiving treatment at the Plateau State Specialist Hospital, Our Lady of Apostle Hospital, Bingham University Teaching Hospital (BhUTH) and Sunnah Hospital, Angwan Rimi, all in Jos.
