Damaturu, Yobe State capital, has been hit by two bomb explosions.
Residents
of the state said the twin blasts occurred very close to prayer grounds
just when Muslim faithful were gathering for the congregational prayer
to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
One of the residents, Musa Yusuf, who
spoke to our correspondent on the telephone, said “there is
apprehension in Damaturu as I am talking to you, we are celebrating
Sallah in fear with these explosions this morning.”
Yusuf said, “It is hard to ascertain
the number of casualties now but the military and policemen are
everywhere keeping watch on the town.”
