The death toll of the bomb blast at the Terminus Market in Jos, Plateau state earlier today has hit 118 according to reports from the Agence France-Presse.
Plateau state police commissioner Chris Olakpe had earlier told reporters that 45 others were injured in the twin blasts.
According to the military, two bombs were concealed inside a truck and a minibus.
“The first IED (improvised explosive device) was in a truck. The second was in a minibus,” according to Kingsley Egbo of the military State Task Force (STF) in Plateau.
“The market was really crowded,” he added. “We are having a problem of crowd control… The emergency services have evacuated the casualties,” he told the AFP news agency immediately after the second blast occurred.
