The National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA confirmed to AFP that 118 people
have been confirmed dead from yesterday bomb blast in Jos, with several others still under
the debris "The exact figure of the dead bodies recovered as of now is 118 and more bodies
may be in the debris of buildings which collapsed due to the intensity of the blasts.” Mohammed
Abdulsalam told AFP. He also revealed that 56 people were injured in the twin blasts.
Plateau state Police commissioner Chris Olakpe had earlier told reporters that only 46 people
were killed and 45 others were injured. He later said "We are saying 46. That’s the number we
have in the morgues. But we are not ruling out more bodies.”
Eye witnesses insists there are way more bodies. A huge fear according to witnesses is that the
number of casualty could double from what has been given so far.
