Bomb blast in northeast Nigeria bus station killed 40 people including five army personnels

YOLA, Nigeria (Reuters) - A roadside bomb tore through a bus station near a busy junction in northeast Nigeria on Thursday, killing 40 people including five soldiers, witnesses and a security source on the scene said.

The security source and witness Abubakar Adamu, a mechanic who narrowly avoided being blown up himself, said the blast set several buses on fire at the Marabi-Mubi junction, in a part of the country plagued by violence linked to the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency.

"There were bodies everywhere on the ground," Adamu said.

The location is about 30 km (20 miles) west of Mubi, a town near the Cameroon border seized last month by Boko Haram militants fighting to carve an Islamic state out of religiously-mixed Nigeria. It has since been recaptured.

Nigerian authorities, who rarely remark on security developments in the troubled northeast, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

There was no claim of responsibility, but suspicion is likely to fall on Boko Haram, whose campaign to create an Islamic caliphate governed by sharia law has killed thousands since 2009.

Continuing insecurity is a headache for President Goodluck Jonathan ahead of February 2015 polls in which he is seeking a second elected term in office. He has asked parliament for approval to extend an 18-month-old state of emergency in the northeast.

Two female suicide bombers killed at least 44 people on Tuesday in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, medical officials said.

To imagine few years ago we all thought and joked that Nigerians love life hence, suicide bombing ain't our thing. Alas, it has become a norm. If our leaders have come to accept this as a norm and as a platform to play politics what are the masses been used as collateral damage doing? Sit on the internet and type RIP like yours truly? Let US all as a people unite and fight our common two enemies- Boko harem and our politicians.

There is no place to unite. Muslim world is on fire hence the killing and maiming will not stop tomorrow. Its not all about politics, there is religious ideology

I still hold the view that a political solution is key to ending Boko harem.
