Nigeria Bomb Blast Update: Jonathan cancels Ibadan trip to visit bomb scene

More than 20 people were killed at the early hours on Monday, following bomb explosion affecting two fully loaded luxury busses at Nyanya Park on the outskirts of the capital city, Abuja.

Nyanya Motor Park is 33 kilometres from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

Two luxury buses, each carrying about 50 passengers on their way to resume to their different offices in Abuja, were affected in the bomb blast.

No official figure has been released for causalities, but eye witnesses said over 20 are already dead.
Some passers-by also sustained different degrees of injuries.

Earlier before the bomb blast, the bubbly Nyanya Motor Park, was crowded with workers and people waiting to board vehicles to their different places of work and offices in Abuja.

Soldiers and bomb disposal experts have cordoned off the area over suspicion of an undetonated bomb, while people were warned not to move near the explosion scene.
