at the Central Motor Park in Gombe, the Gombe State capital on
Wednesday, while attempting to blow up the area with a bomb.
Reports say the suspect, who was in possession of a black bag, was
seen waiting suspiciously to enter the state-run Gombe Transport
Line.
Vigilantes in the area upon noticing his movement approached him and
tried to make him open his black bag but he refused and instead
detonated the bomb that was in his bag, injuring himself in the
process.
An angry crowd immediately gathered around the man, piled tires on
him, doused him with gasoline and burnt him to death.
This incident is coming barely three weeks after a triple bomb
explosionsat a bus station left scores of people dead in the north
eastern city.
The Nigeria Police Force confirmed the death of seven persons the
attack while the Nigeria Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) put the
death toll at nine.
Hospital sources and eyewitness accounts, however, put the figure
between 24 and 30 adding that about 37 people sustained injuries,
during the blast which occurred at the Gombe Transport Services
Limited Terminal in the State capital.
