Many were killed and injured as an early morning bomb explosion rocked a motor park in Nyanya area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on Monday the 14th of April.
Nyanya a satellite town bordering the FCT and Nasarawa State was the place of this callous incident earlier today..
The explosion reportedly occurred in a section of the park allocated to luxury buses popularly called “El-Rufa’i buses.”
Worst hit was the area where vehicles plying Abuja-Ilorin-Kabba were parked.
Workers on their way to their workplaces were mostly affected.
An eyewitness, who survived with deep cut in his right leg, told correspondents that the explosion occurred while he was calling passengers into his car. He also claimed that human flesh littered his car and others around it.
Combined teams of security agencies and fire fighters were found retrieving bodies and putting out fire at the scene.
The incident had led to disruption of movement into Abuja from that area with many workers, who were on their ways to work, stranded at the route.
The loud sound and thick smoke that characterised the explosion attracted lots of people to the scene from neighbouring areas such as Karu, Mararaba and Masaka among others.
