    A bomb last reportedly went off yesterday in a police station in Bauchi metropolis.

    Although details were still very sketchy by press time last night, police sources said the bomb blast occurred in Dutse Tanshi area of the metropolis.

    It was not clear if there were casualties as the police were silent over the incident.

    There was uneasy calm in other parts of the metro yesterday as the news filtered into town.

    The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Barau, confirmed the incident, but he declined further comments about casualty figures and other details.

    He, however, said that Dutse Tanshi was where Boko Haram men were killed in 2009, adding that the group had vowed then to retaliate the death of its members.

    It was not clear by press time yesterday if the blast was their handiwork as no one had claimed responsibility for it yet.
