Kano - Twin blasts rocked a
market in the northeast
Nigerian city of Gombe on
Thursday, leaving several people
dead, witnesses said.
The first explosion took place
outside a footwear shop around
16:20 GMT, followed by a second
explosion just minutes later,
said Badamasi Amin, a local
trader who counted at least
three bodies.
He said the area was crowded
with customers doing some last-
minute shopping on the eve of
the Eid festival marking the end
of the Muslim fasting month of
Ramadan.
"I was about 70m from the
scene" when the first blast
struck, he told AFP.
"I and many other people rushed
to assist the victims. While we
were trying to attend to the
wounded, another blast
happened outside a china shop
just opposite the footwear
shop.
"Several people were killed and
many more were injured," he
added.
Ali Nasiru, another trader, said
he saw "people lying lifeless on
the ground".
"Traders and shoppers helped in
evacuating the victims to the
hospital," he said. "I can't say
how many people were affected
but there are many."
Gombe state neighbours the
states of Borno, Yobo and
Adamawa, which have been most
affected by the Boko Haram
insurgency that has killed more
than 15 000 people in Nigeria
since 2009.
Gombe's market and bus station
have in recent months already
been targeted by bomb and
suicide attacks.
