Suleja \u2014 No fewer than 10 persons were feared dead in a bomb explosion in Suleja in Niger, minutes after Gov. Babangida Aliyu of Niger addressed his party faithful.<\/p>\n

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the bomb exploded from a parked bus by the roadside close to Government Secondary School, Suleja, killing and maiming passersby.<\/p>\n

An eyewitness, Sani Mohammed, told NAN that they heard a loud explosion as the PEP Niger East Senatorial rally was drawing to a close inside the school compound.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“We saw a lot of dead bodies around the scene, with many people injured, including security agents,” he said.<\/p>\n

He said the injured persons were evacuated to the General Hospital, Suleja and the Gwagwalada Teaching Hospital in FCT for treatment.<\/p>\n

Another witness, Malam Dikko Bissala, described the incident as a very sad event in the history of Suleja.<\/p>\n

“We have never seen this kind of thing before in Suleja. See the number of people who are now suffering in the hospital.<\/p>\n

“It is a sorry picture. Some people have been taken to Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital for treatment,” he said.<\/p>\n

When contacted, the Director-General (Publicity) to the governor, Malam Bala Abdulkadir, confirmed the incident, stressing that the police were on top of the situation.<\/p>\n

He said a loud noise was heard after Gov. Babangida Aliyu and his entourage had left the venue of the rally in Suleja.<\/p>\n

Abdulkadir said the governor and his entourage were not affected by the explosion but decline further comments.<\/p>\n

Also the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for Niger Command, Mr Richard Oguche, confirmed the story but decline further comments.<\/p>\n
