A deadly bomb blast hit the Yan-Taya mosque in
Jos yesterday. The blast happened as a sermon
on the occasion of the Muslim holy month of
Ramadan was going on.
Another blast also occurred at Bauchi Road, a
major thoroughfare in Jos that is also in an area
where many Muslim families reside.
At least 15 people were killed and 20 others were
injured in the attacks.
Read an eyewitness' narration of the incidence.
Today (Sunday) started as a normal day, it was
around 9:45pm I was just walking past the Izala
mosque besides Yan Tayah junction, when I
stopped to buy what would be my last cigarette
When I heard a brust of multiple gunshots. I had
planned to quit smoking today and Infact since
the Ramadan fasting began, I have been buying
just a single stick thrice a day just to cut down on
the number of cigarettes I smoke.
As usual, I stopped at Babawo to buy my good
night stick, when I heard the shooting. I
immediately dropped to the floor and behold, I
saw the gunman shooting directly at the Mosque
on RAPID MODE. Then from the direction of
GOOD NEWS Chruch, another Gunman started
shooting at people running away from the scene.
I remained calm and pinned to the ground
observing and watching, then all of a Sudden, a
young man dash from the direction of the first
gunman and head straight to the mosque and
detonated his explosive.
Immediately after the blast, the echo of
advancing youths chanting "Allahu Akbar" coming
towards the scene of blast forced both gunmen to
escape from the scene. While running away,
unconfirmed report suggest they threw an hand
grenade at a white garment Celebrum. Chruch,
while another account said irate miscreants burnt
the church.
However, at as 12:00am, 18 ppl are confirmed
death. Both gunmen escape and the apparent
target was Mallam Yahaya Sani Jingir the National
President of IZALA sect. If we could remember.
After Boko Haram have killed Albani Zaria, Shekau
have explicitly stated that the next target
