Several persons have died after a twin explosion shook Jos, the Plateau State capital on Sunday, July 5.
The first bomb exploded in the midst of a gathering of muslims listening to some sermons on Islam.
The ceremony called Tafsir was holding at the Yantaya area of the city and the explosion was said to have targeted a Muslim cleric who has spoken against Boko Haram in the past.
The second explosion occurred at a restaurant, which is a popular food seller’s shop known as Hajiya Talatu.
An eye witness said: “The first explosion went off at about 9:14pm at a Bauchi road shopping complex a few meters to the Bauchi park and University of Jos and the second explosion was heard about four minutes later.”
The double bombing has since been confirmed by the Plateau State police spokesman Emmanuel Abuh.
