Tragic News This Morning As Bomb Goes off at the Nyanya Bus Garage in the FCT

It’s with deep sadness that we report the news just reaching us from the Federal Capital Territory. About an hour ago, a bomb went off at the Nyanya bus park. This is very tragic, especially because that garage is always very busy at this time of the day. A lot of people who work within Abuja town work in the satellite towns. Nyanya is one of those places.

We don’t have confirmed reports at the moment, but here are some tweets showing the events.

Blown to pieces, just like that and they are still playing politics with people’s lives. — Reallionairé (@RicDizZLe) April 14, 2014

If you know the Nyana park, you will realise that if that was the target on a Monday morning, they were aiming for maximum fatalities. Sick.

That blast did not discriminate against Muslims or Christians. We’ve got to unite as a people to defeat these creatures.

Whether government o, militants o, police o, military o, not one person gives a solitary damn about ordinary Nigerians.
