No fewer than\u00a015 people were injured in an explosion\u00a0that occurred at a hotel located in the\u00a0outskirts of Gombe.<\/p>\n

The Manager of the hotel, Mr Ojiego Nelson, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Gombe on Thursday that three persons came to the hotel at about 10.13 p.m. on Wednesday to explode a device.<\/p>\n

Nelson said he was at the gate of the hotel when the men, who were carrying guns, started \u201cmanhandling\u201d the security man and when he asked what was happening, they started shooting sporadically.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur customers and everybody started running helter-skelter and the one with two gas cylinders in his hands threw them into our reception.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe threw one into\u00a0the reception and threw the other one under the cars parked by our guests in the hotel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one thrown into the reception exploded\u00a0and damaged the building, so we just managed to escape through the back fence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The manager stated that as soon as the incident happened, all the customers vacated their rooms in the hotel.<\/p>\n

He said the incident was immediately reported to the Divisional Police Officer in Tumfure, Mr Hassan Bappa, who came to the scene with his men.<\/p>\n

Addressing newsmen, Bappa said he deployed his men to the scene of the incident when the matter was reported to him, but expressed disappointment that the gun men had escaped before police arrival.<\/p>\n

The DPO said that there was no casualties and nothing was stolen from the hotel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are waiting for bomb experts to come and remove the relics at the scene of the incident,\u201d he said, stating that no arrest has been made so far but\u00a0investigations were on going.\u00a0(NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
