A suicide bomber and two other persons – a landlord and his son – have been confirmed dead while three others were injured in the blast that rocked Jos on Saturday night.
According to the Police, the bomb blast was a failed attempt targeted at football fans watching the European Champions League final.
The bomber, who approached Jos viewing centre where there was a large gathering of people watching the match between Spanish giants, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, could not get there before his car exploded.
The sound of the blast, according to eyewitnesses, reverberated round the city and was heard around Angwan Rogo area of Jos North, behind the temporary site of the University of Jos. The sound was, reportedly, so loud it shook most buildings around the area. It was heard as far as Bukuru in Jos South, about 12 km from Jos.
“So far we have three dead, three injured,” Chris Olakpe, the commissioner of police for Plateau state, told AFP.
Olakpe added that one of the victims was “consumed by his IED (improvised explosive device)” which “exploded before the viewing centre” but declined to confirm reports that it was an attempted suicide attack.
The blast followed the twin blasts, which occurred in the same city on Tuesday.
The Tuesday explosion killed over a hundred people and left many others wounded.
