Two people were reported killed in the suspected bomb blasts that rocked the headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force in Abuja Thursday.
Confirming the incident to reporters in Abuja Thursday , police spokesman, Olusola Amore, said the explosions which rocked the car park of the force happened at about 11 am.
He said the incident affected over 73 vehicles that were burnt beyond recognition while two lives including the suspected bomber and a civil defence staff were lost to the explosion.
Amore said members of the Boko Haram , the islamic fundamentalist group were being suspected as the brains behind the explosions.
He added that “before now the religious sect had threatened to descend on the police and which is what they have done with the bomb blasts”.
While emphasising that the police will get to the root of the matter, the police spokesman said the authorities were on top of the matter.
